About this book
A late conversation beside a study fire sets Morgan Druce's troubled ideals against Robert Ingram's comfortable success. Morgan treats art as a serious calling, while the older novelist and dramatist speaks frankly about writing for a market. Their uncertain friendship gives Louis Zangwill's novel an opening built around doubt: Morgan trusts Ingram's kindness, yet begins to wonder how far that sympathy reaches.
Money worries and personal loyalties sharpen Morgan's unease. Cleo promises to arrange funds but keeps her plans to herself, and Morgan seeks out Helen, whose calm manner offers him relief. Her talk about marriage, income and social standing adds a dry comic edge. Readers interested in the pressures surrounding a writer's ambitions will find close attention to private misgivings, conversation and the uneasy balance between affection and self-interest.
