Note the ‘seemed to hesitate’. If you have ‘he hesitated’, this seems like a stage direction, and is a too direct communication from the author. Where then have we got? I have tried to show that the purpose of the novelist is to create, in the mind of the reader, life which is not, and which is non-representational. This has nothing to do with the theme of his work. We are all individuals and each writer has something of his own to communicate. It is with communication that I have been dealing here. We have inherited the greatest orchestra, the English language, to conduct. The means are there; things are going on in life all the time around us. What I have tried to do here is to show one means of creating life by communication in the hopes that this may be of interest to the reading public, rather as if a mechanic were to open the door of his workshop.
