| Evidence: | 'I have also been making a study of "The Country House". You are one of the most cruel writers that ever wrote English. This statement I will die for. I don't know what made me read the book again . . . I need not inform you that I tinglingly admire your stuff and it enormously "intrigues" me. But I do seriously object to your attitude towards your leading characters.' |
