He watched her fine, tall figure bending over the table, the swift movement of her fingers among the glass and silver, and the gravity of her serious face as she laid a napkin for the expected guest. Then he broke into a low, conte...

Given minds of this sort, no amount of technical discipline will produce good writing, for, "important as it is, and to be encouraged in every way, formal instruction ...

Excerpt from The Plated CityI don't know anything about it, my dear, said the elderly gentleman at her right, taking off his broad-brimmed felt hat and mopping his forehead patiently.

Excerpt from A Study of Prose FictionThe aim of this little book is to discuss the outlines of the art of fiction. In writing it I have followed more or less closely the notes prepared, a few years ago, for a course of lectures on Prose Fiction at Princeton University. These lectures were repeated with several classes, and many teachers who have had occasion to examine the syllabus of the lectures, and the topical work as signed in connection ...

My castle is indeed but a mo...
