invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really
mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window
hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and
and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange
coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains
of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre
results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen
conclusions most stale and unprofitable.
