PART III HIS GENIUS A Defence— A Counterclaim His Genius: A Defence.
Dumas was once asked for a subscription towards a monument to a man whom everyone had reviled in the beginning of his career.
"You had better be content, " he repHed, "with the stones that people threw at him during his lifetime. No monument you can raise will be so eloquent of their imbecility, and his genius. " There was a savour of bitterness in this speech which was only too natural.
" There never was a popular writer, " d...eclared Hayward thirty years ago, " who had better reason than Alexandre Dumas to protest against the contemporary judgment of his countrymen, or to appeal, like Bacon, to the foreign nations and the next ages. " Charles Reade, writing in the French novelist's lifetime, implies the existence of the same attitude towards our author's genius in this forcible comment : " Poor Dumas ! He has not only pro- duced immortal stories and immortal plays, each by the dozen, but also a son who has shown himselr master of the story and the drama.
