He wrote a short story called 'Plated Article' while he was stranded in Stafford between trains. In it he bemoans the county town for being 'as dull and dead a town as any one could desire not to see', he writes at great length about the failings of the towns high-street (which is devoid of people spare one 'bandy legged baby') and the perceived dullness of the 'Dodo', a coach house turned hotel, and its dreary-eyed staff.
Throughout the story he is entertained by an imaginary conversation with a plate, which had come from a factory he had been to the other day, as to stay in the 'dodo' and Stafford was a 'devouring melancholy' to which he would never return.
