Evidence:

Leonard Woolf to Lytton Strachey, 4 November 1906: 'I was reading La Bruyere today with the irritation against [John Maynard] Keynes [following letter from Strachey] at the back of my mind. He is in full the "sot" of La Bruyere for his chief characteristic -- with all his damned intelligence -- is that once you have seen him, he never surprises you'.
