Excerpt from The Reputation of George Saxon, and Other Stories

As I walked Up from the city I thought of his first coherent words on learning that three sudden and unexpected deaths had made him the heir to so much money. He had said, N ow I shall be able to do something, referring of course to those literary aspirations which he and I had found well to conceal in Paternoster Row. Our employers, having dealings with would-be poets, were even more likely than the public to esteem such men fools, and doubtless shared the common opinion which stamps them as idiots until they have made money. Yet now George was free, and in a position to please himself, I sincerely hoped he would also please my critical faculty by consigning his verses to a' well-merited oblivion. Rather unjustly, I doubted his self-dis cernment.
