['P. 160:\r\n“I repeat I consider the short story is the most exquisite form of fiction, as the sonnet is of poetry ; but the Iliad or the Inferno, the Orlando or The Tempest, could not be put into a sonnet, and no more could Gil Blas or Waverley, Adam Bede or L’Impérieuse Bonté, be put into a short story.”\r\n\r\nP. 161:\r\n“The average English reader has a vague confused memory that Hetty Sorel was seduced by Evan Harrington, that Mrs. Nickleby was Lady Dedlock, and that Pelham, after much tribulation, married Becky Sharp.”\r\n\r\nAsK sept2010']
