The telegram is before me as I write. It would appear to have been handed in at Vere Street at eight oclock in the morning of May I I, I 897, and received before half-past at Holloway B. O. And in that drab region it duly found me, unwashen but at work before the day grew hot and my attic insupportable. See Mr. Maturins advertisement Daily Mail might 9 9 suit you earnestly beg try will speak if - necessary-I transcribe the thing as I see it before me, all in one breath that took away mine but I leave out the initials at the end, which completed the surprise. They stood very obviously for the knighted special-I Raffles ist whose consulting-room is within a cab-whistle of Vere Street, and who once called me kinsman for his sins. More recently he had called me other names. I was a disgrace, qualified by an adjective which seemed to me another. I had made my bed, and I could go and lie and die in it. If I ever again had the insolence to show my nose in thathouse, I should go out quicker than I came iti. All this, and more, my least distant relative could tell a poor devil to his face could ring for his man, and give him his brutal instructions on the spot and then relent to the tune of this telegram I have no phrase for my amazement. I literally could not believe my eyes. Yet their evidence was more and more conclusive a very epistle could not have been more characteristic of its sender. Meanly elliptical, ludicrously precise, saving half-pence at the expense of sense, yet paying like a man for Mr. Maturin, that was my distinguished relative from his bald patch to his corns. Nor was all the rest unlike him, upon second thoughts. He had a reputation for charity he was going to live up to it after all. Either that, or it was the sudden impulse of which the most calculating are capable at times the morning papers with the early cup of tea, this advertisement seen by chance, and the rest upon the spur of a guilty conscience. 2 No Sinecure Well, I must see it for myself, and the sooner the better, though work pressed. I was writing a series of articles upon prison life, and had my nib into the whole System a literary and philanthropical daily was parading my charges, the graver ones with more gusto and the terms, if unhandsome for creative work, were temporary wealth to me. It so happened that my first check had just arrived by the eight oclock post and my position should be appreciated when I say that I had to cash it to obtain a Daily Mail. Of the advertisement itself, what is to be said It should speak for itself if I could find it, but I cannot, and only remember that it was a l 6 m ale nurse and constant attendant that was wanted for anelderly gentleman in feeble health. A male nurse An absurd tag was appended, offer ing liberal salary to University or public-school man and of a sudden I saw that I should get this thing if I applied for it...

Ernest William Hornung (1866-1921) was an English author. He spent most of his life in England and France, but in 1884 left for Australia and stayed for two years. Although his Australian experience had been so short, it coloured most of his literary work from A Bride from the Bush (1890), to Old Offenders and a Few Old Scores (1923) which appeared after his death. He published the poems Bond and Free and Wooden Crosses in The Times. The character of A. J. Raffles, a "gentleman thief," first appeared in Cassell's Magazine in 1898 and the stories were later collected as The Amateur Cracksman (1899). After Hornung spent time in the trenches with the troops in France, he published Notes of a Camp-Follower on the Western Front in 1919, a detailed account of his time there. His other works include: Dead Men Tell No Tales (1899), The Black Mask (1901), No Hero (1903), A Thief in the Night: A Book of Raffles' Adventures (1905) and Mr. Justice Raffles (1909).
