There is no place haunted with such pa

rooms on the top floor of Is, Furnival's Inn,
now doomed to destruction. They knew his
happiest days. his rankest days and most
natural manner. They saw the rise Of his
fame before the world had hailed him as
the most popular novelist of the age, be-
fore the burden of a great reputation and
the cares of a large family had made their
marks upon his character. They saw. says
the London Graphic, the first year Of his
eldest child, the beginning Of his lifelong
friendship with Forster, and the growth of
his affection for the young sister-in-law.

1886 he retired to his fathers house at Bas-
ford. then a rural village, but now an in
tegral part Of the city Of Nottingham, to
work out his conception of 'Festus.''
Since its first publication "Festus" has
he meant 1t to be his chef d'oeuvre, and the
best years of his later life have been de-

SARAH GRAND'S BAD TEMPER.
She Displays 1t in n Violent Letter
to Sir Edward Law

Sarah Grand. the novelist, seems also to
be unhappy, says a London correspondent
of the Washington Post. Her new book.
.'The Beth Book" was not given quite as
much eulogy in the Daily Telegraph the
other morning as the novelist modestly
thought it deserved. So she sat down in
her country home and wrote this virulent
and viragoesque letter to Sir Edward Law
son:
receipt Of papers a somewhat fitful event,
and this must be my excuse for the delay
in answering your delicate apostrophe TO
me. That you should Insult Scott. Thack-
cray and Dickens with your approval pains
me but little, since they will never hear of
IT. that YOU are so much cleverer than I
am 1 must modestly accept your word for:
hat you strain yourself to be facetious
and prove yourself a Ounce I must attrib-
ute to your academic degree and a course
of the blighting wit of the common room;
that you should attack me with base mis-
representations l set down to some rag
Of chivalry that still clinss to you; that
YOU are Of ancient lineage I am willing
to admit. since your putting into my mouth
words and sentiments which are not mine
shows you infected with the blood of
Ananias: that you should take yourself
as a serious Judge of art is q crime. for
which 1t is painful to think you must one
day settle between you and your God. but
that you should write yourself down as

my art has dealt me, and ] take this op-
p~ortunity to publicly apologize for it"
