Finally I come to the collection of various papers issued in 1914 under the title An Englishman Looks at the World a book that I may pass with the comment that it exhibits Mr Wells in his more captious moods, deliberately more captious in some instances, no doubt, inasmuch as the various papers were written for serial publication and that Confession of Faith and Rule of Life, published in 1907 as First and Last Things.
Couldn't account for it at the time. Must have been him laughing. At the sight of us he tried to pull himself together. He half succeeded after a bit, and asked us to come in. To say his room was plainly furnished doesn't express it. The apartment was like a prison cell. I've never been in gaol, of course. But I read "Convict 99" when it ran in a serial.
For that serial still survived, though it could never be called a periodical, since it was an intermittent, and sometimes came out very rapidly, sometimes with intervals of many months; but it was always sent to, and greatly relished by, the absent members of the original party, at first at Eton, and later, two in their barracks, and one at his college at Oxford, whither, to his great satisfaction, he had gone by means of a well-won scholarship, not at his aunt's expense.
He still looked like some nattily dressed hero of a space serial, but his first words were ones that could never have gone out on a public broadcast. Then he shrugged. "They must have been poisoned while we were all huddled over Sam's body. Who wasn't with us?" "Nonsense," Pietro denied. "This was done at least eighteen hours ago, maybe more. We'd have to find who was around then."
Very few writers, however, have devoted much time or thought to the question of serial homology in general. Mr. Herbert Spencer, indeed, in his very interesting "First Principles of Biology," has given forth ideas on this subject, which are well worthy careful perusal and consideration, and some of which apply also to the other kinds of homology mentioned above.
No, I have not read it yet, but I have read 'Mong Swassant Quinz' you know, by that other man." This is hopeful indeed. Nor need we wonder that our best magazines are reflecting the same tendency. Here for instance are the opening sentences of a very typical serial now running in one of our best periodicals: for all I know the rest of the sentences may be like them.
At that moment the gentleman in question walked across the lawn towards us. "Thank Heaven!" he said when he saw me. "I'm so glad you're back. I've run out of your cigarettes." I handed him my case in silence. "It's curious," he said, "how used one can get to inferior tobacco." Tea appeared in serial form.
He went back and was kind to his wife about nothing in particular; he admired his own purity, and decided, "Absolutely simple. Just a matter of will-power." He started a magazine serial about a scientific detective. Ten miles on, he was conscious that he desired to smoke.
They are ephemeral in form, but in substance they are not ephemeral, and what is best in them awaits its resurrection in the book, which, as the first form, is so often a lasting death. An interesting proof of the value of the magazine to literature is the fact that a good novel will often have wider acceptance as a book from having been a magazine serial.
There were letters from women seeking to know him, and over one such he smiled, for enclosed was her receipt for pew-rent, sent as evidence of her good faith and as proof of her respectability. There were unexpected checks for English serial rights and for advance payments on foreign translations.
