I had begun by writing down, after the fashion of a novelist, the full and complete story of his life an imaginary life which began in a home of pampered wealth, and led through many adventures, all amusing and a few even dangerous, to the quest of idle pleasures on the Pacific coast. I carefully recounted his whims and his idiosyncrasies. And I drew, with all the skill I could command, the which he offered to the world: his physical appearance, his interests, his humors and his scrutiny.
