Compelled
!
"
I
echoed
--
"
That
is
absurd
--
no
one
can
compel
you
to
accept
a
mere
theory
.
"
He
looked
at
me
with
a
flitting
smile
that
darkened
rather
than
lightened
his
face
.
"
True
!
very
true
!
There
is
no
compelling
force
in
the
whole
Universe
--
Man
is
the
supreme
and
independent
creature
--
master
of
all
he
surveys
and
owning
no
other
dominion
save
his
personal
desire
.
True
--
I
forgot
!
Let
us
avoid
theology
,
please
,
and
psychology
also
--
let
us
talk
about
the
only
subject
that
has
any
sense
or
interest
in
it
--
namely
,
Money
.
I
perceive
your
present
plans
are
definite
--
you
wish
to
publish
a
book
that
shall
create
a
stir
and
make
you
famous
.
It
seems
a
modest
enough
campaign
!
Have
you
no
wider
ambitions
?
There
are
several
ways
,
you
know
,
of
getting
talked
about
.
Shall
I
enumerate
them
for
your
consideration
?
"
I
laughed
.
"
If
you
like
!
"
"
Well
,
in
the
first
place
I
should
suggest
your
getting
yourself
properly
paragraphed
.
It
must
be
known
to
the
press
that
you
are
an
exceedingly
rich
man
.
There
is
an
Agency
for
the
circulation
of
paragraphs
--
I
daresay
they
'll
do
it
sufficiently
well
for
about
ten
or
twenty
guineas
.
"
I
opened
my
eyes
a
little
at
this
.
"
Oh
,
is
that
the
way
these
things
are
done
?
"
"
My
dear
fellow
,
how
else
should
they
be
done
?
"
he
demanded
somewhat
impatiently
--
"
Do
you
think
anything
in
the
world
is
done
without
money
?
Are
the
poor
,
hard-working
journalists
your
brothers
or
your
bosom
friends
that
they
should
lift
you
into
public
notice
without
getting
something
for
their
trouble
?
If
you
do
not
manage
them
properly
in
this
way
,
they
'll
abuse
you
quite
heartily
and
free
of
cost
--
that
I
can
promise
you
!
I
know
a
'
literary
agent
,
'
a
very
worthy
man
too
,
who
for
a
hundred
guineas
down
,
will
so
ply
the
paragraph
wheel
that
in
a
few
weeks
it
shall
seem
to
the
outside
public
that
Geoffrey
Tempest
,
the
millionaire
,
is
the
only
person
worth
talking
about
,
and
the
one
desirable
creature
whom
to
shake
hands
with
is
next
in
honour
to
meeting
Royalty
itself
.
"
"
Secure
him
!
"
I
said
indolently
--
"
And
pay
him
two
hundred
guineas
!
So
shall
all
the
world
hear
of
me
!
"
"
When
you
have
been
paragraphed
thoroughly
,
"
went
on
Rimânez
--
"
the
next
move
will
be
a
dash
into
what
is
called
'
swagger
'
society
.
This
must
be
done
cautiously
and
by
degrees
.
You
must
be
presented
at
the
first
Levée
of
the
season
,
and
later
on
,
I
will
get
you
an
invitation
to
some
great
lady
's
house
,
where
you
will
meet
the
Prince
of
Wales
privately
at
dinner
.
If
you
can
oblige
or
please
His
Royal
Highness
in
any
way
so
much
the
better
for
you
--
he
is
at
least
the
most
popular
royalty
in
Europe
,
so
it
should
not
be
difficult
to
you
to
make
yourself
agreeable
.
