After a long journey from Quebec,Canada in l896,1 was finally in a small office in Kingston,Jamaica.Behind a long table piled with books and papers sat an old man,Mr.Campbell,my new employer and the owner of The Lantern. He stared at me so long,and with such an expression of amazement,that I became uneasy and embarrassed.And then at last a single sentence came from his lips, “My God!” It seems that he had expected a woman of the then approved type of bluestocking(女知识分子),and now a baby had been dropped into his lap!
I sat alone with that old man who stared at me as if l were some person of a strange nature.After he had almost stared me down,he began to ask me questions.
“How old are you?”
“Seventeen.I mean—I’m going on eighteen.”Eighteen was,in fact,eleven months off.
‘‘Have you ever worked before?’’
“I’ve written things.’’
After a silent moment,during which he glared at me more angrily than ever, he demanded:
“What have you written?”
“Poetry, ” I said, and stopped because he said again in that lost voice,‘‘My God!”
“What else?”
“I had a story published in The Star,” I said. “I’ve got it here, if you’d like to see it.”
He made a motion of definite disagreement.
“I taught myself shorthand,’’I said,‘‘and I can take dictation as fast as you can talk.”
“Not a bad idea.” And then he added,“What do you think you are going to do here?”
“Write for your paper,”I said.
“What?”he inquired curiously.
“Why-anything-poetry-”
He waved his hand in such a dismissing manner that I got up, though it was my poetry, not I, he wished to be rid of just then. I went neaner to him and said, “I know you don’t want me an I don’t want to stay. I am dory I came.”
“What about the money I paid for you to came here?”he shouted. “I’m going to lose that?”
