He affected to say that he did not write his books; that he merely transcribed them from life as he saw it, and he insisted always that he saw life as it was. "The mission of the novelist, my dear Professor," he had once been heard to say at his club, "is not to amuse merely; his work is that of an historian, and he should be quite as careful to write truthfully as is the historian. How is the future to know what manner of lives we nineteenth century people have lived unless our novelists tell the truth?"
