About this book

A Belated Guest is by William Dean Howells. The text says it is sweet to sit down, in the shade or by the fire, and recall names, looks, and tones from the past. The writer's recollections of Bret Harte begin with the arrest, on the Atlantic shore, of that progress of his from the Pacific Slope. The text names the tales The Luck of Roaring Camp, Tennessee's Partner, Maggles and The Outcasts of Poker Flat.

At a dinner long after in London, where several of the commensals of that time met again, Harte laid his arms well along their shoulders. The text speaks of the immense super-compensation of the memories of that visit from one of the most charming personalities in the world. The text says death has come to join its vague conjectures to the broken expectations of life, and that blithe spirit is elsewhere.
