Miss Corelli's favorite pose seems to be that of a literary recluse.' It "is plain that she thinks you and I and a lot of other, people take a deep interest In the7way she lives and.works. and she is willing, to in dulge us' by doing both in a manner as original as she can. For instance, she tells us that while she was writing "Barabbas" she knelt down In her study and prayed every morning before taking up her pen. surely this is a departure in literary meth ods or "else other authors have not been so frank. .- She has also said that she makes the first draft pf ' her stories in lead pencil and an -absolute frenzy of . composition; Then she rewrites them calmly tfhd iiflnk.' She is not fond, of the. theater, because modern actors.are crude and self conscious; Perhaps Miss Corelli enjoys her own success fully as much as anything else. A couple of years ago the queen read onq of don . bookseller- as follows: . Send ' com plete set of Miss Corells works. V.SB." This message : Miss Corelli. carries con stantly in a little chamois bag hung around her neck. Yet she indignantly denies that she - Is patronized bjr. the royal family. ' They knos better," she is fond of saying.'- : As the apostle of romantic mysticism Miss Corelli holds a place of her own in the literary world. The weird psycho logical theories which she introduces are not exactly 'new, but most of her readers are unacquainted with them, Some of the incidents which happen to her characters are of the kirtfl that make your flesh creep. George Augustus Sala said that ; he .read "The Vendetta" with a wet cloth around his head-and hia feet in a tub of ice water. This Is "the story in which a man is en tombed while supposedly dead, but comes to life, finds his friend making love to his faithless wife and takes his revenge by shuttingher alive in the same tomb.
