...I'd written (which I thought quite good) 'Ruth, ripening into womanhood, Was now a girl who knocked men flat And frequently got whistled at', And some vile, careless, casual gook Had spoiled the best thing in the book By printing 'not' (Yes,'not', great Scott!) When I had written 'now'.

'Ruth, ripening into womanhood,
Was now a girl who knocked men flat
And frequently got whistled at',
And some vile, careless, casual gook
Had spoiled the best thing in the book
By printing 'not'
(Yes,'not', great Scott!)
When I had written 'now'.
