"The English Novel"
George Saintsbury
I suppose it was a shabby trick to play, and I tell you I think I never heard anything quite so scurvy as Flagg putting that stuff into Seabrooke's carafe to make him sleep, and I'm sure Seabrooke feels more put out about that than he does about the letter, because that was malice Prepense, and the other was-well-an accident; at least, we did not know the mischief we were doing, and we have made it all right.
