They will have to be printed as leaflets and sold at a penny a dozen. Marie Corelli and Hall Caine if all I hear about them is true will possibly make their ten or twelve shillings a week. But what about the rest of us? This thing is worrying me. My desire was once to pass a peaceful and pleasant winter in Brussels, attending to my work, improving my mind.
First off he went out to the Cimmaron Crossing, gyarded by a squad o' cavalry from the fort here. Tommy Caine wint along, an' told me all about it. They dug up the bodies, but niver a thing did they find on 'em not a paper, nor a dollar. They'd bin robbed all roight.
Jerome K. Jerome is a perfect preface to all his works. The silk hat of Mr. Whistler is a real nocturne, his linen a symphony en blanc majeur. To have seen Mr. Hall Caine is to have read his soul. His flowing, formless cloak is as one of his own novels, twenty-five editions latent in the folds of it. Melodrama crouches upon the brim of his sombrero. His tie is a Publisher's Announcement.
A little group of men were gathered at the hatchway leading to the forecastle. I stepped briskly toward them, though Johnson's revolver was covering me. I'll admit I took a chance, but it was a calculated one. If Caine or Bothwell had been with them I would not have dared so far, but I reckoned that their mental habits as seamen were still strong enough to keep them from shooting an officer.
At a recent Trans-Mississippi Congress held in Denver, I sat with ex-Senator Patterson to hear Mr. Prince still proposing resolutions in support of statehood for New Mexico. Franklin S. Richards and John T. Caine and others among their old associates in that party.
In the meanwhile, and in this Rossetti had helped him by correspondence, he had edited for Elliot Stock an anthology of English sonnets, which was published under the title of "Sonnets of Three Centuries." For his work in connection with this volume Hall Caine received no remuneration.
The eager young writer, just beginning a literary career, might fix his eyes upon Francis Thompson rather than upon Sir Hall Caine; the eager young clergyman might dream dreams over the Life of Father Damien more often than over the Life of the Archbishop of Canterbury; but to what star can the eager young barrister hitch his wagon, save to the star of material success?
They rendered me endless acts of kindness, and at their anniversary meetings I met many of the most prominent advocates of the temperance reform in Great Britain. It gives me a sharp pang to recall the fact that of all the leaders whom I met at those meetings, the gallant Sir Wilfred Lawson and Mr. Caine are almost the only survivors.
"Do you know how Bothwell escaped?" "Caine helped him. I heard Tot Dennis say that Mr. Mott had got his. That was just before they spoke to me." Evelyn sat down quickly. I think she wanted to faint. She too understood what was meant by the words that Mott had "got his." "What about Alderson? Are you sure he can be trusted?" Blythe asked of the sailor. "Yes, sir. I can speak for him and for Smith."
