Evidence:
'I don’t think I have concealed from you my opinion that "Fortitude" and "The Duchess" [The Duchess of Wrexe] are not on a level with the other three. [Mr Perrin and Mr Traill (1911), The Dark Forest (1916) and The Green Mirror (1918)]. But this unlevelness does not worry me in the least. It is constantly found in the greatest novelists, and is natural & inevitable.'
