"This is delightful. I am as glad for your sake as for my own." The author also sent word. That evening when she entered the theatre the manager had a most pleasant greeting for her. "Mr. Stevens," he said, referring to the author, "is preparing a little song, which he would like you to sing next week." "Oh, I can't sing," returned Carrie. "It isn't anything difficult.
Had the writer known the awful blow that awaited Maltravers at that time, it is not in man's nature but that he would have shrunk from this petty gall upon the wrung withers; but, as I have said, there is a terrible disconnection between the author and the man. The first is always at our mercy of the last we know nothing.
The plan only fell through in consequence of Frederick's cordial urgency that his friend should end his days with him; he returned to Prussia and lived at Sans Souci until the close, always retaining something of his good-will for "his excellent savage," as he called the author of the Discourses.

Priests are the first philosophers a symbolical religion the first philosophy.
Baring, who is at the same time animated by a strange jealousy of Turgenev's fame, and seems to think it necessary to belittle the author of "Fathers and Children" in order to magnify the author of "Crime and Punishment."
The malice, envy, and hatred I bore this man are inconceivable to any but an author, and an unsuccessful one; I never could bear to hear him well spoken of, and writ anonymous satires against him, though I had received obligations from him; indeed I believe it would have been an absolute impossibility for him at any rate to have made me sincerely his friend.
If this story is true, it is very remarkable indeed; and I thought it worth telling, because the author was a person who, they say, might be credited.
And when you consider that what letters I get are not a tithe of what older and more widely known authors receive, you may form some idea of the immense number of persons engaged in this sort of correspondence.
