Was
it
not
true
?
"
I
demanded
.
"
No
,
not
that
,
"
she
answered
.
"
I
was
hurt
.
"
"
We
can
measure
the
unknown
only
by
the
known
,
"
I
replied
,
in
my
finest
academic
manner
.
"
As
a
critic
I
was
compelled
to
place
you
.
You
have
now
become
a
yardstick
yourself
.
Seven
of
your
thin
little
volumes
are
on
my
shelves
;
and
there
are
two
thicker
volumes
,
the
essays
,
which
,
you
will
pardon
my
saying
,
and
I
know
not
which
is
flattered
more
,
fully
equal
your
verse
.
The
time
is
not
far
distant
when
some
unknown
will
arise
in
England
and
the
critics
will
name
her
the
English
Maud
Brewster
.
"
"
You
are
very
kind
,
I
am
sure
,
"
she
murmured
;
and
the
very
conventionality
of
her
tones
and
words
,
with
the
host
of
associations
it
aroused
of
the
old
life
on
the
other
side
of
the
world
,
gave
me
a
quick
thrill
--
rich
with
remembrance
but
stinging
sharp
with
home-sickness
.
"
And
you
are
Maud
Brewster
,
"
I
said
solemnly
,
gazing
across
at
her
.
"
And
you
are
Humphrey
Van
Weyden
,
"
she
said
,
gazing
back
at
me
with
equal
solemnity
and
awe
.
"
How
unusual
!
I
do
n't
understand
.
We
surely
are
not
to
expect
some
wildly
romantic
sea-story
from
your
sober
pen
.
"
"
No
,
I
am
not
gathering
material
,
I
assure
you
,
"
was
my
answer
.
"
I
have
neither
aptitude
nor
inclination
for
fiction
.
"
"
Tell
me
,
why
have
you
always
buried
yourself
in
California
?
"
she
next
asked
.
"
It
has
not
been
kind
of
you
.
We
of
the
East
have
seen
to
very
little
of
you
--
too
little
,
indeed
,
of
the
Dean
of
American
Letters
,
the
Second
.
"
I
bowed
to
,
and
disclaimed
,
the
compliment
.
"
I
nearly
met
you
,
once
,
in
Philadelphia
,
some
Browning
affair
or
other
--
you
were
to
lecture
,
you
know
.
My
train
was
four
hours
late
.
"
And
then
we
quite
forgot
where
we
were
,
leaving
Wolf
Larsen
stranded
and
silent
in
the
midst
of
our
flood
of
gossip
.
The
hunters
left
the
table
and
went
on
deck
,
and
still
we
talked
.
Wolf
Larsen
alone
remained
.
Suddenly
I
became
aware
of
him
,
leaning
back
from
the
table
and
listening
curiously
to
our
alien
speech
of
a
world
he
did
not
know
.
