No — ought I to have ? I never even heard of it ! Oh , I shall insist on having it . And he wrote it ? Really , Phil , now I come to look at him , there 's something rather striking about his face . Did you say Sabrina 's Niece 's Other Aunt — or what ? Oh , but I always attach the greatest importance to names , myself . And do you know him ? I do n't mind that when a man is clever — do you think you could bring him up and introduce him ? I have never been disappointed in any genius yet — perhaps , because I do n't expect too much — so go , dear boy ; he may be surrounded unless you get hold of him soon . PHILWell , Tablett , old fellow , how are things going with you ? Sabrina flourishing ? I 'm so delighted to make your acquaintance . When my brother-in-law told me who you were , I positively very nearly shrieked . I am such an admirer of your —— your delightful Sabrina ! Such a hopeful sign — when one was beginning quite to despair of the public taste ! Ah , but you can feel independent of criticism now , can n't you ? Ah , you mean certain critics are so thin-skinned — they are : indeed ! How gratifying that must be . But that is the magic of all truly great work , it is such an anodyne — it takes people so completely out of themselves — does n't it ? Oh , but I like to hear you . I 'm so tired of hearing people pretending to disparage what they have done , it 's such a pose , and I hate posing . Real genius is never modest .I wish you would come and see me on one of my Tuesdays , MR. TABLETT , I should feel so honoured , and I think you would meet some congenial spirits — do look in some evening — I will send you a card if I may — let me see — could you come and lunch next Sunday ? I 've got a little man coming who was very nearly eaten up by cannibals . I think he would interest you . How witty you are ! That 's quite worthy of — er — Sabrina , really ! Then you will come ? So glad . And now I must n't keep you from your other admirers any longer . LATER . How could you say that dear Mr. Tablett was dull , Phil ? I found him perfectly charming — so original and unconventional ! He 's promised to come to me . By the way , what did you say the name of his book was ? Phil — you did !— Sabrina 's Other — Something . Why , I 've been praising it to him , entirely on your recommendation . How abominable of you ! But surely he 's famous for something ? He talks like it . But he has n't even done that yet ! PHIL , I 'll never forgive you for letting me make such an idiot of myself . What am I to do now ? I can n't have him coming to me — he 's really too impossible !
