Like
Christ
again
!
"
I
said
mischievously
,
for
I
loved
to
jar
his
non-conformist
conscience
.
"
Exactly
!
"
He
paused
,
looking
piously
down
.
Then
with
a
return
of
secular
animation
he
added
--
"
But
I
was
not
thinking
of
the
Great
Example
just
then
,
Mr
Tempest
--
I
was
thinking
of
a
woman
.
"
"
Indeed
!
"
I
said
indifferently
.
"
Yes
--
a
woman
,
who
despite
continued
abuse
and
opposition
is
rapidly
becoming
celebrated
.
You
are
sure
to
hear
of
her
in
literary
and
social
circles
"
--
and
he
gave
me
a
furtive
glance
of
doubtful
inquiry
--
"
but
she
is
not
rich
,
you
know
--
only
famous
.
However
--
we
have
nothing
to
do
with
her
just
now
--
so
let
us
return
to
business
.
The
one
uncertain
point
in
the
matter
of
your
book
's
success
is
the
attitude
of
the
critics
.
There
are
only
six
leading
men
who
do
the
reviews
,
and
between
them
they
cover
all
the
English
magazines
and
some
of
the
American
too
,
as
well
as
the
London
papers
.
Here
are
their
names
"
--
and
he
handed
me
a
pencilled
memorandum
--
"
and
their
addresses
,
as
far
as
I
can
ascertain
them
,
or
the
addresses
of
the
papers
for
which
they
most
frequently
write
.
The
man
at
the
head
of
the
list
,
David
McWhing
,
is
the
most
formidable
of
the
lot
.
He
writes
everywhere
about
everything
--
being
a
Scotchman
he
's
bound
to
have
his
finger
in
every
pie
.
If
you
can
secure
McWhing
,
you
need
not
trouble
so
much
about
the
others
,
as
he
generally
gives
the
'
lead
,
'
and
has
his
own
way
with
the
editors
.
He
is
one
of
the
'
personal
friends
'
of
the
editor
of
the
Nineteenth
Century
for
example
,
and
you
would
be
sure
to
get
a
notice
there
,
which
would
otherwise
be
impossible
.
No
reviewer
can
review
anything
for
that
magazine
unless
he
is
one
of
the
editor
's
friends
.
You
must
manage
McWhing
,
or
he
might
,
just
for
the
sake
of
'
showing
off
,
'
cut
you
up
rather
roughly
.
"
"
That
would
not
matter
,
"
I
said
,
diverted
at
the
idea
of
'
managing
McWhing
,
'
--
"
A
little
slating
always
helps
a
book
to
sell
.
"
"
In
some
cases
it
does
,
"
--
and
Morgeson
stroked
his
thin
beard
perplexedly
--
"
But
in
others
it
most
emphatically
does
not
.
Where
there
is
any
very
decided
or
daring
originality
,
adverse
criticism
is
always
the
most
effective
.
But
a
work
like
yours
requires
fostering
with
favour
--
wants
'
booming
'
in
short
--
--
"
"
I
see
!
"
and
I
felt
distinctly
annoyed
--
"
You
do
n't
think
my
book
original
enough
to
stand
alone
?
"
"
My
dear
sir
!
--
you
are
really
--
really
--
what
shall
I
say
?
"
and
he
smiled
apologetically
--
"
a
little
brusque
?
I
think
your
book
shows
admirable
scholarship
and
delicacy
of
thought
--
if
I
find
fault
with
it
at
all
,
it
is
perhaps
because
I
am
dense
.
The
only
thing
it
lacks
in
my
opinion
is
what
I
should
call
tenaciousness
,
for
want
of
a
better
expression
--
the
quality
of
holding
the
reader
's
fancy
fixed
like
a
nail
.
But
after
all
this
is
a
common
failing
of
modern
literature
;
few
authors
feel
sufficiently
themselves
to
make
others
feel
.
