| Evidence: | "For [Nat] Gould, the highest commendation of his 'art' came ... when Walter Home, the Routledge's representative who snapped up The Double Event, told him that he nearly set fire to his house by turning up the reading lamp without looking at it, because he was so engrossed in the story and determined to read it through in one sitting." |
