You remember his imprisonment; the bitter invective of his enemies; the defection of his followers; the dark scandals that filled the newspapers, offended public taste, and destroyed Cecil Grimshaw's popularity in an England that had worshipped him! Esther Levenson lied to save him. That was the strangest thing of all. She denied what she had told us that night of the tragedy.
