...Boston society was invited to see the results of Mrs. Jack's labors. They found the palace as crammed with art treasures as that of a Renaissance prince. Mrs. Jack kept adding to the collection until her death, delighted in hanging such beloved contemporaries as Sargent cheek by jowl with the great masters. Sargent's El Jaleo (an Andalusian dance) occupies a specially constructed Moorish alcove in the palace's "Spanish Cloister," is illuminated by footlights concealed behind potted greenery...

His manner is lawyerlike, earnest and-sometimes patiently, sometimes anxiously-engaging. He has a rueful laugh, nervous and sudden, a tongue in his head, and a head on his shoulders.
