Scarcely Had The Abbey Bell Tolled For Five Minutes, And Already Was The Church Of The Capuchins Thronged With Auditors. Do Not Encourage The Idea That The Crowd Was Assembled Either From Motives Of Piety Or Thirst Of Information. But Very Few Were Influenced By Those Reasons; And In A City Where Superstition Reigns With Such Despotic Sway As In Madrid, To Seek For True Devotion Would Be A Fruitless Attempt. The Audience Now Assembled In The Capuchin Church Was Collected By Various Causes, But All Of Them Were Foreign To The Ostensible Motive. [more]

Vanity, Egotism, A Strong Sense Of Their Own Sufficiency, Form Another Accusation Against Men Of Genius; But The Complexion Of Self-Praise Must Alter With The Occasion; For The Simplicity Of Truth May Appear Vanity, And The Consciousness Of Superiority Seem Envy--To Mediocrity. It Is We Who Do Nothing, And Cannot Even Imagine Anything To Be Done, Who Are So Much Displeased With Self-Lauding, Self-Love, Self-Independence, Self-Admiration, Which With The Man Of Genius May Often Be Nothing But An Ostensible Modification Of The Passion Of Glory.

If anyone is curious about my local settings, let it be recorded that St. Bertrand de Comminges and Viborg are real places: that in 'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You' I had Felixstowe in mind. As for the fragments of ostensible erudition which are scattered about my pages, hardly anything in them is not pure invention; there never was, naturally, any such book as that which I quote in 'The Treasure of Abbot Thomas'. 'Canon Alberic's Scrap-book' was written in 1894 and printed soon after in the National Review, 'Lost Hearts' appeared in the Pall Mall Magazine; of the next five stories, most of which were read to friends at Christmas-time at King's College, Cambridge, I only recollect that I wrote 'Number 13' in 1899, while 'The Treasure of Abbot Thomas' was composed in the summer of 1904.
