William Ernest Henley  : 

'At last, son of night, I receive a communication […] Oh no, it is not the penny. It is the one-volume story demanded by Hueffer for the New Tarterly [sic]. It’s a real story, damned fine; but the dénouementdoesn’t please me yet: the beginning is so good, that it is difficult to get up to that pitch again, and the story sort of dies away.'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Robert Louis Stevenson      Manuscript: Letter
