Excerpt from The Yellow Book, Vol. 6: Illustrated QuarterlyI may declare in regard to these allusions that, whatever I then thought of myself as a holder of the scales, I had never scrupled to laugh out at the humour of Mrs. Highmore's pursuit of quality at any price. It had never rescued her, even for a day, from the hard doom of popularity, and, though I never gave her my word for it, there was no reason at all why it should. The public would have her, as her husband used roguishly to remark, not indeed that, making her bargains, standing up to her publishers and even, in his higher ¿ights, to her reviewers, he ever had a glimpse of her attempted conspiracy against her genius, or rather, as I may say.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
