How did you come to be interested in her book, then?
C.Well, she--she wrote and asked me to find a publisher for her, and mentioned you.
H.Why should she apply to you instead of me?
C.She wished me to use my influence.
H.Dear me, what has INFLUENCE to do with such a matter?
C.Well, I think she thought you would be more likely to examine her book if you were influenced.
H.Why, what we are here FOR is to examine books--anybody's book that comes along.

It's our BUSINESS.

Why should we turn away a book unexamined because it's a stranger's?
It would be foolish.
