They talked until the early hours, when it was agreed that each should write out a plan, suggest the best treatment, and come together the next morning. When they did so, Kipling had mapped out the scenario of a novel; Bok had sketched out the headings of a series of analytical articles. Neither one could see the other's viewpoint, Kipling contending for the greater power of fiction and Bok strongly arguing for the value of the direct essay.

白话
两人聊到深夜,约定各写一份方案,第二天早上碰头。结果吉卜林写的是小说梗概,博克写的是系列分析文章的标题。谁也说服不了谁:吉卜林认为小说更有力量,博克坚持直接论述的价值。这件事最终没有定论,作品也没写成。核心是:合作前若没对齐目标形式,再努力也白费。做法是:动手前先明确产出形式(小说还是文章),再分工。
上下文
