WHAT Has GONE BEFORE


The previous episodes presented the
amazing "First Interlude" in the dra-
matte life Of Dickens. a poverty-stricken
but brilliant London youth. He cap
tivsted Maria Beadneil, beautiful daugh-
ter Of a well-to-do banker. After three
years of ardent oourtship Maria re-
jected him. The First InterIude" was
ended. Heatbroken and respondent. he
impulsiveIy married Catherine HOS1rth
Years Of unhappiness followed. Twenty
two years later began the Second In
teriude." Dickens was nov forty-four,
and the father of nine children. Maria
had been married for years to staid,
small business man and had two chill
dren. She wrote to Dickens. He re-
sponded with an zrdor which reflected
the love he had felt in his heart all his
life for Maria BeadneIl. We have al
ready printed one OF the letters Of the
Second Interlude" which has been pro-
nounced the greatest love letter ever
written" and also the famous "camOu-
lage letter.. Apparently Maria's ad-
vances were to establish intimacy
closer than that of mere platonic friend
ship.
lust where and how they met,
u no one knows; nor is it at all
necessary that we intrude upon
the privacy of that meeting.
If she were still attractive in
appearance, and was as handy
with her voice as she had been
with her pen in setting herself
Alright, we could perhaps assume
that she might have convinced
Dickens that here was his chance
to retrieve the lost opportunity OF
his youth.
All this, however, is highly i'm
probable She was no longer a
part of his world; for more than
twenty years he had gone steadily
forward, while she, handicapped
by an unromantic husband and
the household cares incidental to
an increasing family, bad made
no progress.
The only thing in common be-
tween them was 22-year-old
Renaissance, which must have
been a little embarrassing, not to
say painful, to both.
THE impression Dickens got of
i her at their first meeting is
best determined by the letters
which follow. 1t is a point On
which there is some conflict of
opinion. The case presents a
rather interesting psychological
problem, which the reader will
perhaps enjoy figuring out for
himself.
At all events, no matter what
Dickens mood or impression may
have been, one fact stands out
undeniably clear: Maria Beadnell
had a powerful influence in shap-
ing his life, and Maria Winters
letters inspired him to write the
second chapter of a human story
the like of which he never wrote,
either before or afterward.
The following letter shows that
Dickens and Maria met again one
Wednesday evening early in March
and he wondered if he had taken
her cold "by sympathy"
Whether or not he was still
under the spell, no one will doubt
that the prototype of Dora" was
doing all she could to atone for
her former treatment of him,
when their meetings had been
little more than so many displays
of heartlesS indifference" on her
part and "a fertile source of
wretchednesS and misery" to him.

I think We are pretty sure to
be at home before three tomor-
row. l can not positively speak
for myself. as l am one of a
committee on some public liter
airy business, which may have to
make an official representation
some time tomorrow. I have I'M

likely, however.
Your cold is a very well-dis-
posed one, to improve in such

commentator for being so good.
1 am so busy that I have not had
time to consider whether I took
it by sympathy on Wednesday
evening-but I think 1 heard
somebody sneezing at my desk
half the day yesterday, who
sounded like the incompatible au-

TT would be immensely interest

rise to Dickens remark in the
fourth paragraph of the forego-

His comment might easily pro-

strained the bounds of propriety,
and was pressing the intimacy too
fast, and a trif1e too far, especial

And so this romantic affair
seems to have continued-with
considerable abatement, on his
part at least-until nearly
month later when he had occasion
to answer another note in which
she must have complained of his
waning interest or some fancied
neglect. He explained with COM
mendable patience, telling her
just what an authors life is like,
