The Westcotes
Von: Arthur Thomas Quiller Couch
A Spinster, Having Borrowed A Man's Hat To Decorate Her Front Hall,
Excused Herself On The Ground That The House 'Wanted A Something.'
By Inscribing Your Name Above This Little Story I Please Myself At
The Risk Of Helping The Reader To Discover Not Only That It Wants A
Something, But Precisely What That Something Is. It Wants--To Confess
And Have Done With It--All The Penetrating Subtleties Of Insight, All
The Delicacies Of Interpretation, You Would Have Brought To Dorothea's
Aid, If For A Moment I May Suppose Her Worth Your Championing. So I
Invoke Your Name To Stand Before My Endeavour Like A Figure Outside
The Brackets In An Algebraical Sum, To Make All The Difference By
Multiplying The Meaning Contained.
