From Thackeray: His Literary Career, by Dr. John BrownMOST
"Most novelists know how to let the life out towards the end, so that the story dies quite naturally, having been wound up for so long. But his airy nothings, if once life is breathed into them, and they are made to speak and act, and love and hate, will not die; on the contrary, they grow in force and vitality under our very eye:the curtain comes sheer down upon them when they are at their best."
