...cases that are never lost sight of by Yard police until the blame is fin ally and irrevocably fixed. Another case against which there is a general warning is that of a negro who is peddling cigars about the rooms. The cigars, it turns out, are consistently smuggled. The peddler of the articles will be taken into custody as soon as his whereabouts is reported and he is caught in the act. It is on such pretences as this that men enter the dormitories, as is illustrated by every-day instances of solicitors, book agents, and ticket-sellers, and peddlers...

...only with a desire for more, but with a certain childish resentment against those authors for not telling us what "happened" afterwards. Mr. Millet's "Book Agent" is too incomplete even for an Incident. Something ought to "happen" in the very briefest sketch.
