Then came private coaching, freelance journalism, hunting for secretaryships: the commonplace story humorously told of the wastrel's decline; then a gorgeous efflorescence in light green and gold as the man outside a picture palace in Camberwell and lastly, the penniless patriot throwing himself into the arms of his desirous country.
"You must surely know Denis Quirk, the editor of the 'Freelance. Two such important persons as you and he must have met." "Of course I know him. He is one of our best friends. But are you certain it is he she wishes to see?" "I merely surmise, Mother. I will see her at once and ask her the Sister told me to lose no time."
It was a reminder of the long fighting life of the freelance, of all the stories she had heard of his sordid quarrels, of his blackmailing his relatives, and besting his uncle. She asked herself his own question, "Is genius, like the pearl in the oyster, only a splendid disease?" Aloud she said, "I hope you are done with Börne!" "Börne?" he said, softening.

There was the same attraction about this freelance warfare which there might have been about a privateer in contrast with a flotilla of modern dreadnaughts and frantic chasers, and it reminded him of Daniel Boone, and Kit Carson, and Davy Crockett, and other redoubtable scouts of old who did not depend on stenching suffocation and the poisoning of streams.
Many of them go freelance. Indie music labels, independent cinema, print on demand publishing are omens of things to come. This inexorably leads to disintermediation the removal of middlemen between producer or creator and consumer. The Internet enables niche marketing and restores the balance between the creative genius and the commercial exploiters of his product.
