For a dozen years I had usurped his time and his money, and now, after all his fatherly advice and guardianship, I had absolutely refused his first and only request. He had been a lenient guardian, giving freely of the small surplus that he could spare in an endeavor to give me the best possible education. I knew well that a physician's diploma would be an adequate means of progression, but medicine was not my calling. Why could I not prove to the old man that I was right? I stood humbly before him, just about to acknowledge my inferiority and ask his par don, - just about to renounce my determina tion to become an author, - when he said, Clarke, my boy, you Shall become a writer.
