Sir Walter Besant is said to be one of the most charming men In London in social intorcourse. He is now 57, though his thick brown hair and beard make hlm look younger, and he livea in a secluded red brick house of hls own desig-n in Hampstead. He is perhaps the busiest man in literature, fot every hour of the day has its allotted tasks for him, and his stories are written out with painful perseverance wilil his own hand. He began his career as a college professor, and it was due to ill-health, of which there is now no trace, that he turned his hand to novelwriting.
