Mary Roberts Rinehart
[When working on a book] I have an almost complete detachment from the world I live in, a sort of armor against distraction. I talk to people, move about, appear on the surface much as usual. But later on I have only a confused memory of what has happened during that period.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Besides, you want the unvarnished and ungarnished truth, and I'm no hand for that. I'm a lawyer.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
I have a great deal of mind. It takes a long time to change it.
Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart
