How you must have schooled yourself to scribble all this you, with your restless nature full scores, too! I hope you don't offer this sort of thing to Brahmson." "I certainly went there with that intention," admitted Lancelot. "I thought I'd catch Brahmson himself in the evening he's never in when I call in the morning." Peter groaned. "Quixotic as ever! You can't have been long in London then?"
"Then you had no difficulty in getting published?" he asked. "I don't say that. It was bribery and corruption so far as my first song was concerned. I tipped a professional to go down and tell Brahmson he was going to take it up. You know, of course, well-known singers get half-a-guinea from the publisher every time they sing a song." "No; do they?" said Lancelot. "How mean of them!"

"No; do they?" said Lancelot. "How mean of them." "Business, my boy. It pays the publisher to give it them. Look at the advertisement!"
"My dear sir," said the great man, "what is the use of bringing quartets and full scores to me? You should have taken them to Brahmson; he's the very man you want. You know his address, of course just down the street." Lancelot did not like to say that it was Brahmson's clerks that had recommended him here; so he replied, "But you publish operas, oratorios, cantatas!"
"P.S. I send by this post a Reverie, called 'Marianne, which is the best thing I have done, and should be glad if you could induce Brahmson to look at it." A big, sudden blaze, like a jubilant bonfire, shot up in the grate and startled Beethoven into silence. But the canary took it for an extra flood of sunshine, and trilled and demi-semi-quavered like mad. "Sw eêt! Sweêt!"
This is silly of you, Lancelot." "If Brahmson can't see any merits in my music, I don't want you to open his eyes. I'll stand on my own bottom. And what's more, Peter, I tell you once for all" his voice was low and menacing "if you try any anonymous deus ex machinâ tricks on me in some sly, roundabout fashion, don't you flatter yourself I shan't recognise your hand.

'You will hear from us. 'It shall have our best consideration. We have no knowledge of the Ms. in question. Yes, Peter, two valuable quartets have I lost, messing about with these villains." "I tell you what. I'll give you an introduction to Brahmson. I know him privately." "No, thank you, Peter." "Why not?" "Because you know him." "I couldn't give you an introduction if I didn't.
