"But where is the Dragon in his den? you ask. Are we not coming to him soon? Ah, but we have come to him. You shall
hear the truth. Never believe that sham story about More of More Hall, and how he slew the Dragon of Wantley. It is a
gross fabrication of some unscrupulous and mediocre literary person, who, I make no doubt, was in the pay of More to
blow his trumpet so loud that a credulous posterity might hear it. My account of the Dragon is the only true one."
Owen Wister, The Dragon of Wantley: his rise, his voracity & his downfall, A Romance, Chapter 3 Reveals, 1892.
