Somerset is Somers Somerset, the son of Lady Henry Somerset, and the Frohman referred to is Daniel Frohman, who was the manager of the old Lyceum Theatre. Early in November, William R. Hearst asked my brother to write a description of the Yale-Princeton football game for The Journal.
Verplank pursues. There are two fabulous duels and a scene in which our hero is mangled by dogs. It is all mad, full of purple patches and crimson splotches and yet, once opened, it is impossible to lay the book down until it is completed.
