Evidence

"On Monday, Dickens wrote asking me to give him, after I have finished my present novel, a story to be printed in "All the Year round" -to begin four months after next Easter, and assuring me of my own terms. The next day G. had an interview by appointment with Evans ( of Bradbury and Evans) and Lucas, the editor of "Once a week", who after preliminary pressing of G. himself to contribute, put forward their wish that I should give them a novel for their Magazine, promising higher terms than Blackwood would give. They were to write and make an offer, but have not yet done so. We have written to Dickens saying that Time is an insurmountable obstacle to his proposition as he puts it. - Today G. has been into town again to see the attorney, Mr. Sheard, about our wills. - I am reading Thomas a Kempis." Diary 1854-1861 81
