Excerpt from His Young Wife: A Novel Lux and I had just finished a story by which we were well entertained. "Dear old woman, " said Lux, " I wish you would try your hand at something in this vein. There's Sam Slaughter he ought to have a gift from the Lord, that is, a wife." "Of a truth good Lux thou sayest well: I am minded to set about it straight, and twelve moons shall not wax and wane before the man Sam is mated." The position of the center figures toward each other has been a favorite one among novelists. I have myself found a like couple in one English tale, two French, two German, and one Swedish. The working out of each, following, of course, the bent of their creating minds, for how sayeth old Ben Johnson: "A man is not better known by his face than by his written works, if so be he draweth his discourse from his own braine, and be not a book-botcher."
