Ir has often been disputed as to how far a novelist is right in showing us the seamy side of life. But the answer admits of no dispute. Truth is the most pre- cious jewel of all.

Wine is like water for the drunkard, gold melts in the hands of the gambler; Messalina tires herself out without being satiated.
