Excerpt from Luck; And What Came of It, Vol. 1: A Tale of Our Times
It is a plain, unvarnished tale, that the author has told, and if here and there the incidents may appear to be extravagant, the extravagance, if such it be, is not to be attributed to the invention of the writer, but to his perhaps too obstinate and literal adherence to a fact which he knew to be a fact; that is to say, if he or anybody else knows anything to be a real, indubitable fact, which is far more than the author would like to assert of anything.
