Excerpt from The Princess of Forge
It falls on me to open up the whole box of the Scotchman's deeds, since Of all who were involved I am the best informed.
From the beginning of the contest, I was at Forge; my hand more than once was raised in its forwarding; and round my person, it may be said, eddied and swirled and tossed the passions of Forge. Of these latter, then, this narrative will have much to do. Certain particulars it will not be pleasant to write, where the part I played was second best; but certain others, which rest on how I gave Checkmate now and again to one handsome gentleman, I shall relate with silent satisfaction.

Excerpt from The Princess of Forge
It is time to give a true account of what took place at Forge. Had it not been for the prominence of several of the persons concerned, the matter would never have received so much attention, and would long ago have been forgotten. Because a well-known New York name has been mixed up in the affair, public curiosity has been tenacious. When something of the adventure became known, the newspapers made the most of it. They dealt in rumours of what had occurred, as grotesque as Oriental dreams. Surmises, conjectures, explanations, and theories fell for a week thick as hail; and at pretty regular intervals during the two years since, it has been the practice of newspaper - men perhaps their pleasantry - to invent a new disclosure or a fresh tale. And, I protest, they do it badly.
