Johnnie had the tongue of the improvisator, and he loved a listener.
It must reluctantly be confessed that one of the most fascinatingly vital of them all, Alexandre Dumas, is one of the exceptions, born improvisator as he was; yet immense research, it needs hardly be said, went to the making of his enormous library of romance even though, it be allowed, that much of that work was done for him by his "disciples."
