Stevenson, Robert Louis

"The Wrecker"

The
editor did no more than glance his eye down the
headlines. 'You're the man for us,' said he."
I was certainly far from reassured by this sketch of
the class of literature in which I was to make my first
appearance; but I said no more, and possessed my soul
in patience, until the day came when I received a copy
of a newspaper marked in the corner, "Compliments of J.
P." I opened it with sensible shrinkings; and there,
wedged between an account of a prize-fight and a
skittish article upon chiropody--think of chiropody
treated with a leer!--I came upon a column and a half
in which myself and my poor statue were embalmed. Like
the editor with the first of the series, I did but
glance my eye down the head-lines, and was more than
satisfied.
