He stayed there until 2:00, taking a brief break for lunch with his family, during which he often seemed to be in a trance, eating mechanically and barely speaking a word before hurrying back to his desk. On an ordinary day he could complete about two thousand words, but during a flight of imagination he sometimes managed twice that amount.

I keep a dictionary, a Bible, a deck of cards, and a bottle of sherry in the room ..."--$cProvided by publisher.
