Question

What do Rudyard Kipling and his wife comment about the interview?

Solution

Rudyard Kipling’s wife Caroline writes in her diary for October 14, 1892 that their day was wrecked by two reporters from Boston. She reports her husband saying. Why do I refuse to be interviewed? Because it is immoral! It is a crime, just as much as of a crime as an offence against my person, as an assault, and just as much merits punishment. It is cowardly and vile. No respectable man would ask it, much less give it.
