II.—MYSELF.

I write this romance in the French style.

Yes: something that way.

The French style consists of making just
as many paragraphs as possible.

Thus one may fill up a collumn in a
very short time.

I am paid by the collumn, and the quicker
I can fill up a collumn—but this is a matter
to which we will not refer.

We will let this matter pass.
