To that firstunsympathetic editor I sent it (which argues a distinct lack of malicein my disposition), and oh, joy! it was actually accepted.

HomeJournal vol. VII No 2 Philadelphia January 1890 p. 11)] The Duchess "How a novel is written" The characters in my novels, you ask how I conceive them? Once the plotis rescued from the misty depths of the mind, the characters come andrange themselves readily enough. A scene, we will say, suggestsitself--a garden, a flower show, a ball-room, what you will--and twopeople in it. A _young_ man and woman for choice.
