When he had made up the packet for post, he wrote to Earwaker. 'I had forgotten all about this thing. Proofs have gone to Dolby. I have not signed; probably he would object to my doing so. As it is, the paper can be ascribed to anyone, and attention thus excited. We shall see paragraphs attributing it to men of mark perhaps scandal will fix it on a bishop. In any case, don't let out the secret.
"I shall never recall you," he said, "as a mere public audience, but rather as a host of personal friends, and ever with the greatest gratitude, tenderness, and consideration. God bless you, and God bless the land in which I leave you!" The great audience waited respectfully, wistfully watching him as he slowly withdrew. The faithful Dolby, his friend and manager, helped him down the steps.

Dolby, the secretary and manager of my readings. He will then telegraph to me: 'I see my way to such and such results. Shall I go on? If I reply, 'Yes, I shall stand committed to begin reading in America with the month of December. If I reply, 'No, it will be because I do not clearly see the game to be worth so large a candle.
