`` How much do you suppose you 'll get for it ? '' asked Diana . But Anne had not thought about this at all . She was in pursuit of fame , not filthy lucre , and her literary dreams were as yet untainted by mercenary considerations . `` You 'll let me read it , wo n't you ? '' pleaded Diana . `` When it is finished I 'll read it to you and Mr. Harrison , and I shall want you to criticize it SEVERELY . No one else shall see it until it is published . '' `` How are you going to end it -- happily or unhappily ? '' `` I 'm not sure . I 'd like it to end unhappily , because that would be so much more romantic . But I understand editors have a prejudice against sad endings . I heard Professor Hamilton say once that nobody but a genius should try to write an unhappy ending . And , '' concluded Anne modestly , `` I 'm anything but a genius . '' `` Oh I like happy endings best . You 'd better let him marry her , '' said Diana , who , especially since her engagement to Fred , thought this was how every story should end . `` But you like to cry over stories ? '' `` Oh , yes , in the middle of them . But I like everything to come right at last . '' `` I must have one pathetic scene in it , '' said Anne thoughtfully .
`` I might let ROBERT RAY be injured XXXXX an accident and have a death scene . ''
