Excerpt from Quinneys': A Comedy in Four Acts Posy enters R. She wears a white pinafore over a smart tailor - made coat and skirt. She is about nineteen, a pretty, graceful girl, very intelligent and quick-witted. In speech she is inclined to be slangy, but she speaks with an accent which indicates a first-class education. She carries in her hands a small bowl holding polish, and a soft duster. She places the bowl and duster upon the desk, and looks round. From the bosom of her blouse she takes a letter. Then she runs to the door, glances into the hall, shuts the door, and goes to the cabinet, opens the cabinet, slips letter into middle drawer, and then locks cabinet. She extracts the key from the lock, and with a smile pops it into the mirror-black bottle. Having accomplished all this to her entire satisfaction, she laughs softly. Once more she approaches the door and listens. Hearing nothing, she runs to the speaking-tube and whistles down it.

Excerpt from Brothers: The True History of a Fight Against Odds She was charming, murmured the Dean absently, the most fascinating creature. The spinster sniffed her surprise, reflecting that her companion was a radical. A true blue, the bishop, for instance, would not have mentioned the mother at all.

See!""Gosh," exclaimed Dan, "I'll do it!" They turned in. The Professor next day watched the rodeo from a platform erected near the biggest of our corrals. This was his first visit to California, and he was mightily impressed by the skill and vigour of the vaqueroes. To Ajax he declared that he was amazed to find such splendid specimens in that particular locality. Ajax smiled. "We have not much," he said, "but we feel that we have a right to expect high health. We used to say," he added, "that sickness was unknown in our hills till a wise doctor settled here from the East."The Professor frowned."I rose at six," he said austerely. "I made a microscopical examination of the water in your new spring, which rises, I venture to remind you, through soil which is undoubtedly diatomaceous.""That sounds awful.""Diatoms in a fossilised condition are silicious, and they are to be found in Virginia, in Bermuda, and here.""Professor, I am an ignoramus.""Then it is my duty to inform you that the man or woman who drinks water from that spring is swallowing millions of tiny flint knives, hard as diamond dust--indeed, diatomaceous earth is used commercially as a polishing powder.""You mean that if we drink that water...

Excerpt from Fishpingle: A Romance of the Countryside A last word. I wrote a book and a comedy entitled The book appeared first and then the play. Some critics took for granted that the play was a dramatization of the novel. They happened to be wrong. The comedy was written before the book. In this case, my comedy Fishpingle was produced at the Haymarket Theatre in 1916. The novel will appear in 1917. I leave it to the same critics to guess which was written first.
