Excerpt from Margret Howth: A Story of to-Day Mystory is very crude and homely, as I said, -only\a rough sketch of one or two of those people whom you see every day, and call dregs, sometimes, - a dull, plain bit of prose, such as you might pick for yourself out of any of these warehouses or back-streets.

You want something, in fact, to lift you out of this crowded, tobacco-stained commonplace, to kindle and chafe and glow in you.
