The Editor.


Making up your mind about people—whether you will like them or not—the first instant you meet them, is like reading the end of a book first. You may (though you frequently don’t) secure a fairly accurate impression, but all the thrill of suspense, the gradual unfolding of surmise into certainty, is lost forever.

Who burst, like a bubble in air,

While trying to show to his friends in the bog

The size of an ox who’d been there.
