You understand Jane insists. Take your pound, I call the first rehearsal for Monday. Thenceforward Henry lived largely in the world of the theatre, a pariah's life, the life almost of a poor relation. Doxey appeared to enjoy the existence; it was Doxey's brief hour of bliss.
'Come on, cried Jane Map, and pulled him by the hand, helter-skelter, until they came in front of a blaze of light and the noise crashed at his ears. 'I've been through this before somewhere, he thought, while Jane Map wrung his hand. 'Was it in a previous existence? No. The Alhambra! What made him remember the Alhambra was the figure of little Doxey sheepishly joining himself and Jane.
Not short pieces, of course, but long ones; only, short ones lead to long ones. 'I tell you what you'd better do, said Henry, when they had discussed the matter. 'You'd better write the thing, and I'll have a look at it, and then decide. 'Very well, if you like, said Doxey slowly. 'What about shares? 'If it comes to anything, I don't mind halving it, Henry replied. 'I see, said Doxey.
Miss Clegg and Mrs. Lathrop were sitting on the latter's steps about five o'clock one Sunday afternoon when Elijah Doxey came out of the former's house and walked away down town. "I wond " said Mrs. Lathrop. "I don't believe it," said Miss Clegg; "I know the way you look at it, Mrs. Lathrop, but I don't believe it.
That journalist was Alfred Doxey, who had married on the success of Love in Babylon, and was already in financial difficulties. He said he could get twenty-five pounds for an interview with Henry, and Henry gave him the interview.

Kimball is no windmill to pump when it comes to where he gets relations from. Seems, Mrs. Lathrop, as he had a sister though as married a Doxey an' that's the why of Elijah Doxey.
I never had any thin' of that kind in my house afore an' of course I ain't goin' to give up without a good deal more lookin', but if I can't find that key it'll prove beyond a shadow of a doubt as Elijah Doxey ain't of a trustin' nature an' if that's true I don't know how I ever will be able to get along with him.
It had never, however, appeared on the playbills of the theatres; except once, when, at a benefit matinée, the great John Pilgrim, whom to mention is to worship, had recited verses specially composed for the occasion by Alfred Doxey.

He seemed to be trying to awake from his dream, to recall the mundane and the actual, without success. He said, still whispering, that the little play pleased him. 'Let me see, he reflected. 'Didn't Doxey say that you had written other things? 'Several books, Henry informed him. Ah! Mr. Pilgrim had the air of trying to imagine what sort of thing books were. 'That's very interesting. Novels?
Henry softened the rigour of his collaborator's pen in something like half an hour. He suspected that he could write for the stage rather better than Mr. Doxey, and he saw, with the eye of faith, new plumes waving in his cap. He was aware, because he had read it in the papers, that the English drama needed immediate assistance, and he determined to render that assistance.
