Excerpt from The Game of Life
My idleness was 'no more the idleness of ennui 3 my waking dreams were filled, not with shadows, but, realities I lived over again my years of metropolitan adventure I walked again with the strange comrades I had fallen in with on my way 5 my thoughts, rioted on fie past; and my pen ever too readv to follow my thoughts, committed the medley to paper. In the fol lowing sheets I present you with a group cut out of the back ground of the picture. The characters, whether natural or not, are drawn from nature, and the great er part qf the action is culled from the history of those on whose veracity I can place reliance.
