Then she went back to an extremely uninteresting vegetable curry, with the reflection, "Can she possibly imagine that one doesn't see it yet?" Alicia came before five. She brought a novel of Gissing's, in order apparently that they might without fail talk about Gissing.
Salammbô, after all, was a magnificent failure, and Veranilda, well, it must be confessed, sadly but surely, that Veranilda was a failure too. Far otherwise was it with Ryecroft, which represents, as it were, the summa of Gissing's habitual meditation, aesthetic feeling and sombre emotional experience.

Good-bye, Lyddy; good-bye, Thyrza. May you have a happy Christmas, children! The anonymously published Demos can hardly be described as a typical product of George Gissing's mind and art. In it he subdued himself rather to the level of such popular producers as Besant and Rice, and went out of his way to procure melodramatic suspense, an ingredient far from congenial to his normal artistic temper.

Ruskin's Praeterita, Scenes and Thoughts of My Past Life. Benson's Ruskin: A Study in Personality. Earland's Ruskin and his Circle. Harrison's John Ruskin. Birrell's Life of Charlotte Brontë. Kitton's Dickens, his Life, Writings, and Personality. Gissing's Charles Dickens: A Critical Study. Chesterton's Charles Dickens. Hughes's Dickens as an Educator. Philip's A Dickens Dictionary.
Beagle senior was indeed very old: his white hair hung over his eyes, he spoke with growling severity. Gissing's manner to the old merchant was one of respectful reassurance: he attempted to make an impression that would console: to impart of course without saying so the thought that though the head of the firm could not last much longer, yet he would leave his great traffic in capable care.
It was an engraved portrait of Charles Dickens. Some of the best work of George Eliot, Reade, and Trollope was yet to make its appearance; Meredith and Hardy were still the treasured possession of the few; the reigning models during the period of Gissing's adolescence were probably Dickens and Trollope, and the numerous satellites of these great stars, prominent among them Wilkie Collins, William Black, and Besant and Rice.
By and bye he wrote two letters. Holt's book on the Care and Feeding of Children, and a well-illustrated edition of Mother Goose. The other was to Mr. Poodle, asking him to fix a date for the christening of Mr. Gissing's three small nephews, who had come to live with him. "It is lucky they are all boys," said Gissing. "I would know nothing about bringing up girls."
If faithfulness to life were the key to literary success, Gissing's sales would have been counted by the million instead of by the hundred. Have Mark Twain's literary qualities, apart altogether from his humour, been recognised in literary circles as they ought to have been? "Huck Finn" would be a great work were there not a laugh in it from cover to cover.
