I'd write of people and places like I knew, and I'd make my characters talk everyday English; and I'd let the sun rise and set in the usual quiet way without much fuss over the fact. If I had to have villains at all, I'd give them a chance, Anne–I'd give them a chance. There are some terrible bad men the world, I suppose, but you'd have to go a long piece to find them…But most of us have got a little decency somewhere in us. Keep on writing, Anne.
