The Journal of a Disappointed Man
·
W. N. P. Barbellion
332
The
same
evening
I
told
the
publishers
that
the
anonymous
editor
would
neither
print
my
article
nor
return
it.
Would
they
kindly
give
me
his
name
and
address
so
that
I
could
write
personally.
After
some
delay
they
replied
that
although
it
was
not
the
custom
to
disclose
the
editor's
name,
the
following
address
would
find
her.
She
was
a
lady
living
in
Richmond
Row,
Shepherd's
Bush.
I
wrote
to
her
at
once
and
received
no
answer.
Meanwhile,
I
had
observed
that
no
further
issues
of
the
review
had
appeared
on
the
bookstalls,
and
the
book-sellers
were
unable
to
give
me
any
information.
I
wrote
again
to
the
address--this
time
a
playful
and
facetious
letter
in
which
I
said
I
did
not
propose
to
take
the
matter
into
court,
but
if
it
would
save
her
any
trouble
I
would
call
for
the
MS.
as
I
lived
only
a
few
minutes'
walk
distant.
I
received
no
answer.
I
was
busy
at
the
time
and
kept
putting
off
executing
my
firm
purpose
of
visiting
the
good
lady
until
one
evening
as
I
was
casually
reading
the
Star
coming
home
in
the
'bus,
I
read
an
account
of
how
some
charitably
disposed
woman
had
recently
visited
the
Hammersmith
Workhouse
and
removed
to
her
own
home
a
poor
soul
who
was
once
the
friend
of
George
Eliot,
George
Henry
Lewes,
and
other
well-known
literary
persons
of
the
sixties
and
had,
until
it
ceased
publication
a
few
months
before,
edited
the
once
notable
Westminster
Review.
