15.

April 23rd, 1906,
Dear Mr. Joyce,

I am sorry, but I am afraid we cannot publish "The Two Gallants" as it stands; indeed, the printers, to whom it was sent before I read it myself, say that they won't print it. You see that there are still limitations imposed on the English publisher! I am therefore sending it back to you to ask you either to suppress it, or, better, to modify it in such a way as to enable it to pass. Perhaps you can see your way to do this at once.

The same thing has to be done with two passages marked in blue pencil on page 15 of "Counterparts".

Also — you will think I am very troublesome, but I don't want the critics to come down on your book like a cart load of bricks — I want you to give me a word that we ["I" crossed out in ink] can use instead of 'bloody' in the story "Grace". Sincerely yours,

Joyce replied on 26 April that he could change nothing and would hold the manuscripts of the two stories Richards had sent back with that of the 14th, "A Little Cloud," until he learned whether Richards wanted to go on with the stories as written or drop the idea of publishing them. The marked passages in "Counterparts" were
1. "a man with two establishments to keep up, of course he couldn't . . .
." 2. "Farrington said he wouldn't mind having the far one and began to smile
at her . . . ." 3. "She continued to cast bold glances at him and changed the position of her legs often; and when she was going out she brushed against his chair and said 'Pardon!' in a cockney accent."
