Young woman – set competitions – clever, very – read Dickens – liked him – set a Pickwick comp – no answer – empty inbox – Eratosphere thread a blank – panic – only Greenwell came up with anything – had to write the rest herself – quite enjoyed it – got into the habit – ignored contributions – developed her own literary talent – wrote more and more - editor approving – readers approving - usual compers depressed - didn't get a look in - Whitworth apoplectic – sad – very.
