Daily
Telegraph
gave
it
something
more
than
a
column
of
careful
review,
which
did
not
fail
to
point
out
the
book's
sins
with
a
good
deal
of
justice
and
dignity;
but
the
majority
of
English
papers
joined
in
a
sort
of
objurgatory
chorus
which,
for
a
time
at
least,
spared
neither
the
author
nor
his
work.

last,
a
louder
scream
than
any
he
had
yet
heard,
burst
from
the
mouth
of
the
sufferer,
and,
in
an
instant,
a
noise,
as
of
some
one
falling
over
chairs,
was
heard,
and
then
a
sudden
stifling
of
the
scream,
accompanied
by
the
objurgatory
and
menacing
voice
of
a
man,
whose
anger
seemed
to
increase
with
the
necessity
of
an
increase
of
his
efforts
to
stop
the
complaint
of
the
sufferer.

by
Carey,
to
be
Cubby
Grandison
himself.
