But my despair was no ignoble one; for, knowing theimpossibility of satisfying myself, even should the world besatisfied, I did my best to overcome it; investigated the causes ofevery defect; and strove, with patient stubbornness, to remove themin the next attempt. It is one of my few sources of pride, that, ridiculous as the object was, I followed it up with the firmness andenergy of a man. I manufactured a great variety of plots and skeletons of tales, andkept them ready for use, leaving the ...filling up to the inspirationof the moment; though I cannot remember ever to have told a talewhich did not vary considerably from my preconceived idea, andacquire a novelty of aspect as often as I repeated it. Oddly enough, my success was generally in proportion to the difference between theconception and accomplishment. I provided two or more commencementsand catastrophes to many of the tales, --a happy expedient, suggestedby the double sets of sleeves and trimmings which diversified thesuits in Sir Piercy Shafton's wardrobe.
