Excerpt from The Heroine in Bronze: Or a Portrait of a Girl; A Pastoral of the City

This reflection encouraged me. The several pulplike romances on which I had first per suaded myself that I should help to nourish mankind had not sustained that favorable esti mate of their importance; mankind had not shared my view that those works held any of the nutriment of its delight. It had nibbled, but had decided not to partake, and had even left it to me to express the necessary regrets: I duly ex pressed them.

I was pleased, moreover, that my story had come to me in the early hours of the morning while as yet the day had not a footstep on it, not a finger-print, not a breath that might be a stain. For the work itself, as I have intimated, was about youth - life's dawn; the white dews of nature still lay over it, over that land of youth.
