Unfortunately, our story-teller in his desire for artistic verisimilitude has overreached himself. "That touch about Nesis if that is what he called her, being the fourth wife of Watusk. Why fourth? one wonders. You have heard Lona testify that she was Watusk's one and only wife. She ought to know. I fancy I need say no more about that. "Next comes Inspector Egerton.
And there the effect is not only verisimilar but wonderful in its verisimilitude. At any rate, in him, and for English prose and secular fiction, we have first that mysterious charm of the real that is not real of the "human creation" which constitutes the appeal of the novel. In some of the books there is hardly any appeal of any other sort.
What is important in his art is, of course, the beauty of his conceptions and his power in pursuit: indifference to verisimilitude is but the outward and visible sign of this inward and spiritual grace. For some, however, though not for most of his followers his distortion had an importance of its own.
He must have heard them somewhere, and treasured them up for just such an occasion, but he told them in a manner that was verisimilitude itself, using perfect English with just the trace of an accent at the right places. At last it was time to saunter around to the Vesper Club without seeming to be too indecently early.
Here are to be found the famous words, 'O Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are ever young, and there is not an old man among you' which may be compared to the lively saying of Hegel, that 'Greek history began with the youth Achilles and left off with the youth Alexander.

You see, we'd no opportunity to discuss anything," she added, striving once more after verisimilitude. "Yes'm. I told him when I took him his early cup o' tea." "Did he ask you?" "Now ye puzzle me, ma'am!
He can reproduce historical characters with great vividness and effect, and with enough knowledge of humanity to make the verisimilitude admirably strong; but as to the deep knowledge with which Shakspeare searches the radical elements of the human soul, he has it not.

But the theory of Materialism, especially as advocated by Dr.
