Excerpt from A Silver Poppy
You're like our California plums, she went on genially; you have all the bloom rubbed off before we can get hold of you.
But that's the trouble with genius in our age interrupted Henry Slater, who declared himself to be a publisher and therefore to know whereof he spoke; it has to be picked green, like watermelons, so as not to spoil on the market.
