Excerpt from His Own Image: A Novel The Actor en négligé Reginald Rellerick, actor, of carefully embroidered reputation, ego-maniac, of almost psychological import, turned in his big blue bed, drew up his feet, and yawned. He was unstudied, and unconsciously human, for even a great actor cannot set nature entirely at defiance. The dingy sun of London was not allowed full play in Mr. Rellerick's apartment. It fought its way through rosy festooned curtains, and planted an absurd carmine clot on the actor's nose - a nose that had been discussed throughout the land. Mr. Rellerick "came to" slowly, as though the act were enjoyable - one that he savoured. His marvelously one-toned mind gathered up the threads of its own make-up, and the actor, like a serial story, gradually prepared himself "to be continued in our next."
