His glance said: 'I know exactly who I am, and let no one think otherwise. His self-esteem as a celebrity, stimulated and fattened by a tremendous daily diet of press-cuttings, and letters from feminine admirers all over the vastest of empires, was certainly in no immediate danger of inanition.
"Oh, then, I suppose you didn't see the review. I thought you probably got clippings from a Press-cuttings agency!..." "Yes, oh, yes, I do. I seem to remember that the Morning Report was unkind. Not quite fair, I should say!" Lord Jasper began to take an intelligent interest in the conversation. "Have you published another book, Boltt?" he asked innocently. "Yes ... a ... Lord Jasper ... I have!"
This letter written, there was a small pile of them awaiting attention on top of the old bureau; and Langholm sat glancing at proofs and crumpling up press-cuttings until he needed a lamp. The letter that he kept to the last looked like one of the rare applications for his autograph which he was not too successful to welcome as straws showing the wind of popular approval.
Nor did the fact that he was still outside the rings known as literary circles injure that self-esteem in the slightest degree; by a curious trick of nature it performed the same function as the press-cuttings and the correspondence.

He had also astonished himself enormously. "It's darned good to let you and Barbara know," said he, "that I'm not a mere six foot of beef and thirst, but that I'm a chap with brains, and" he turned over a bundle of press-cuttings "and 'poetic fancy' and 'master of the human heart' and 'penetrating insight into the soul of things' and 'uncanny knowledge of the complexities of woman's nature. Ho! ho! ho!

Jardine, It is most kind of you to write me this nice note and to send me these reviews. I often have to miss the things that come out in the reviews about my guardian, for the press-cuttings go to her. Mr. Drew says many clever things, does he not; he understands music and he understands at least almost what my guardian is to music; but he does not, of course, understand her.
Lydia seized a spare sketching-block lying on the grass, and began to note down a few "passages" in the sky before her. Suddenly a gust came straying down the valley. It blew the press-cuttings which had dropped from her lap toward the stream. One of them fell in, the others, long flapping things, hung caught in a tuft of grass.
The picture of Madame von Marwitz, with her hand before her eyes, her anxious dog at her knees, found its way into the American press and illustrated touchingly the story of the lost adopted child. Madame von Marwitz was not sorry when, among a batch of press-cuttings, she came across the photograph and saw that her most genuine emotion had been thus made public.
He had disposed of an etching to Stockholm, and mentioned that he had exhibited at the International Show in Rome. He said that his things were attracting attention at a gallery in Bond Street. He displayed catalogues and press-cuttings. "These are jolly fine," said George enthusiastically, as he examined the prints on his knee. "I'm glad you like them," said Mr. Prince, pleased.
