Theodore Watts: "Mr. Caine, a word with you! Shields and I have been talking matters over, and we are agreed that to-night and henceforth you must not and shall not read any more of your literary efforts to our friend. They are too — what shall I say? — too luridly arresting, and are the allies of insomnia."
