Kennedy : [unknown]
'(after reading story): " I see what he (Kennedy) means. The government's all Labour at the moment except Mr. Churchill. What he means to say is that the Premier will be a Labour man too. There'll only be the one party. That's what he means. It's not the end of democracy though. That's not what he means.'

Dr Kennedy : [a tragedy]
'On Saturday, April 4, I drank tea with Johnson at Dr. Taylor's, where he had dined. He entertained us with an account of a tragedy written by a Dr. Kennedy (not the Lisbon physician). "The catastrophe of it (said he) was, that a King, who was jealous of his Queen with his prime-minister, castrated himself. This tragedy was actually shewn about in manuscript to several people, and, amongst others, to Mr. Fitzherbert, who repeated to me two lines of the Prologue : " Our hero's fate we have but gently touch'd ; The fair might blame us, if it were less couch'd"."'

Margaret Kennedy : The Constant Nymph
I think the 'C.N.' is fine. It is bound to make you respected among those whose respect alone is a comfort in moments of depression. For myself, I have been more impressed by it than by any novel from a new writer for years.
