same time an ideal audit showed up in Literature. This analyst called the work "so astounding a bit of workmanship that it can 't be portrayed" and one which "displays his [James 's] subtlest forces" (351). Other great surveys soon took after. The New York Tribune on October 23, 1898, (supp., p. 14) guaranteed that the story "solidifies a unique and interesting thought in totally proper structure."
