'Here is the much talked of book [Morley Robert's "Time and Thomas Waring"]. It has been a pain for me to read it all through, though it didn't make me slop over and sob and wet three pocket handkerchiefs as in poor Ford Madox Hueffer's case. My trouble is that I have just the same feeling as Waring after his operation—I have lost my hold on life. There it is in a word.' [Hence follow several sentences of criticism of this work.]
