Well, maybe the
teensiest bit of selfishness, but it was also a backhanded way of wishing you a long life. I suspect he would equal, if not surpass, Henry James' output, and you seemed a little daunted by that in retrospect.
It would be wonderful to have your version of his writings, though, as easily navigable as your other collections. Except for Harry T's collections of the Palliser novels and the Barsetshire novels, we don't have decent versions of Trollope's novels and most of what's available at Amazon are just Gutenberg novels put up for sale, in lousy productions.
