Thanks Muriel

I opened Muriel Spark's short novel The Finishing School and my eyes landed on this:

"You know, Chris," Rowland had said, "I don't think you're on the right lines.  You might scrap it and start again."

"When it's finished," said Chris, "I could scrap it and start again.  Not before I've finished the novel, though."

"Why?" said Rowland.

"I want to see what I write."
