Excerpt from Ernest Dowson: 1888-1897, Reminiscences, Unpublished Letters and MarginaliaCaesar and Pompey were very much alike, in the opinion of the black man, especially Pompey. And this was the case with Mr J. And Ernest Dowson, the latter being the more alike - that is, the more representative of the type. So possessed was I with this parallelism that, like an eminent bungling barrister in a law case full of names, who addresses the defendant by the patronymic of his dupe, I constantly transposed their surnames, and for years confused and puzzled Ernest Dowson by addressing him as J. I made somewhat the same mistake again only yesterday.We met in Mr Sayle's rooms, those quaint picturesque rooms which were to be found in Gray's Inn years ago, and have doubtless not been obliterated in that ancient place.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
