They were called, he said,
gpt
And discuss,
human
To receive and discuss the judgment of their----
gpt
The suggestions,
human
The judgment and suggestion' of their counsel, how tha'z best to publish the literary treasure they've foun' and which has egspand' from one story to three or four. Biccause the one which was firzt acquire' is laztly turn' out to be the only one of a su'possible incompat'--eh--in-com-pat-a-bil-ity--to the others. His bow yielded the floor to Chester.

Remain seated, if you please,

In spite of my wish to save this manuscript all avoidable delay, Chester began,
gpt
I've kept it a week. I like it--much. I think that in quieter times, with the reading world in a more contemplative mood, any publisher would be glad to print it. At the same time it seems to me to have faults of construction that ought to come out of it before it goes to a possibly unsympathetic publisher. Yet after--was Mme. Alexandre about----?
human
Juz' to say tha'z maybe better those fault' are there. If the publisher be not _sympathetique_ we want him to rif-use that manuscrip'.
gpt
Yes! several responded.
human
Yes! He can't have it! Tha'z the en' of _that_ publisher.
gpt
Well, at any rate, Chester said,
human
Tha'z the only plase they are, said Dubroca, with kind gravity.
gpt
I had the same feeling--till a dream, which reveal' to me that the feeling was my fault. The manuscrip' is perfec'.
human
Messieurs, Mme. Castanado broke in,
gpt
Perfect or no, I think that's what we don't require to conclude. But if that manuscript will join well with those other two--or three, or four, if we find so many--or if it will rather disjoint them--'tis that we must decide; is it not, M. De l'Isle?
human
Yes, and tha'z easy. That story is going to assimilate those other' to a perfegtion! For several reason'. Firz', like those other', 'tis not figtion; 'tis true. Second, like those, 'tis a personal egsperienze told by the person egsperienzing. Third, every one of those person' were known to some of us, an' we can certify that person that he or she was of the greatez' veracity! Fourth, the United States they've juz' lately purchaze' that island where that story tranzpire. And, fifthly, the three storie' they are joint'; not stiff', like board' of a floor, but loozly, like those link' of a chain. They are jointed in the subjec' of friddom! 'Tis true, only friddom of negro', yet still--friddom! An', _messieurs et mesdames_, that is now the precise moment when that whole worl' is _wile_ on that _topique_; friddom of citizen', friddom of nation', friddom of race', friddom of the sea'! And there is ferociouz demand for short storie' joint' on that _topique_, biccause now at the lazt that whole worl' is biccome furiouzly conscientiouz to get at the bottom of that _topique_; an' biccause those negro' are the lowez' race, they are there, of co'se, ad the bottom!

M. Beloiseau?

I think Mr. Chezter he's speaking with a too great modestie--or else _dip_-lomacie. Tha'z not good! If _fid_-elitie to art inspire me a conceitednezz as high --his upthrown hand quivered at arm's length--
