It is thevery genius of Mr. Punch that makes him respond to the moment and becomethe most decorous figure in the world in decorous times. One cannot help being struck by a resemblance between the coming to townand the almost immediate success there of du Maurier and Thackeray. Thecomparison has its interest in the fact that as every man has hismaster, beyond all dispute Thackeray was du Maurier's master. Bothquitted Bohemia, but in Society always retained the detachment ofartists. It was near t...o Thackeray's initials that du Maurier wasdestined to cut his own on the great _Punch_ table. He himself describedthe glamour Thackeray's name possessed for him, inspiring him as heclimbed out of the despair that followed the sudden partial deprivationof his sight. The only time he met his master he was too diffident toaccept an invitation to be introduced. Thackeray seemed so great. Butall that evening he remained as close to him as possible, greedilylistening to his words. Like Thackeray, du Maurier thought that thefinest thing in the world was to live without fear and without reproach.
