Evidence:

Henry James to Alice James, 22 February, 1876: "Of course you have read Daniel Deronda, and I hope you have enjoyed it a tenth as much as I. It was disappointing, and it brings out strongly the defects of later growth ... But ... I enjoyed it more than anything of hers ... I have ever read. Partly for reading it in this beastly Paris ..."
