He was for some time a clerk in the Railway Clearing House, and began about 1891 to write humourous sketches for the St. Jamess Gazette and other papers. He secured his first striking success, in volume form, with Mord Emly (1898), an excellent example of his ability to draw humourous portraits of lower class life.
