Best Selling Recipe

How to cook up a best seller
While not directly involving food this quirky little 'recipe' from a Western Australian newspaper in 1907 had a bit of fun with the standard format used in its day.

To Make a Best Seller
Take a statuesque blonde who looks like a cloak model and talks like a
princess;
A statuesque man, who looks like a floor-walker and talks like a matinee hero. Add one murder mystery, two missing wills, four'runaway autos.
Mix with two deadly enemies for twenty chapters. .'
Then take out the deadly enemies
and when the mixutre comes to a boil rapidly stir in four pages of soft talk,
One-half page of tears.
One-half page of silence.
Four pages of hugs
Five pages of clinging embraces
And forty-two pages of mad kisses, scattering them quickly over the brow, the ear, the hair, the lips and the cheeks of the heroine.
Close quickly and serve while warm.
