Five or six threadbare scholars would have sat down at a long table in a tavern room, and, after their manner, dashed off a Comedy of Errors on the real and the false playwright. Baconians never seem to think of the mechanical difficulties in their assumed literary hoax. If Will, like the old Hermit of Prague who never saw pen and ink, could not even write, the hoax was a physical impossibility.
As might be expected, the disclosure of this trick greatly annoyed the authors, and caused no little merriment among those who were acquainted with the circumstance. As we were none of us Christians, and only laboured for the `gold that perisheth, we did not care for the delusion, only so far as to be careful to avoid it ourselves and enjoy the hoax.
I accuse no one, assert nothing. But when a young man apparently in the best of health, drops off so mysteriously and even the physician in the case can give no very convincing information, that case warrants attention. I know what I know. "H-M," mused Kennedy, weighing the contents of the note carefully, "one of the family, I'll be bound unless the whole thing is a hoax.
"Let him think with everybody else that the Germans blundered; that an advance party landed too soon and gave the show away. If we talk," he argued, "We'll get credit for a successful hoax.

"But it wasn't a hoax; it was true. Come away, Miss Oliphant, do. Polly has got some lovely things." "I don't think I even know who Polly is," said Maggie. "She surely is not an inmate of Heath Hall?" "No, no of Katharine Hall.
When I heard this I was anxious about you. So the princess gave me this charmed swing to return in. But come, let us get outside before the elephants arrive and batter down the place." "Don't believe this," said the vizier's son. "It is a mere hoax. They have been playing tricks with you." "You will soon have your heart's desire," he whispered aside to the prince. "These things are signs."
Let me at any rate have some sort of sketch of you as a kind of feather from the angel's wing or a photograph of the ghost to prove to me in the future that you were once a solid sociable fact, that I didn't invent you, didn't launch you as a deadly hoax.
Now, at last, I saw the grim humor of the method they had adopted to do me this great honor, but that there was any hoax in the reality of the title they had conferred upon me was readily disproved by the sincerity of the congratulations that were heaped upon me by the judges first and then the nobles.
