Why shouldn’t we collaborate?
said Henley in his most matter-of-fact way, as Big Ben gave voice to the midnight hour. Everybody does it nowadays. Two heads may be really better than one, although I seldom believe in the truth of accepted sayings. Your head is a deuced good one, Andrew; but—now don’t get angry—you are too excitable and too intense to be left quite to yourself, even in book-writing, much less in the ordinary affairs of life.
