| Evidence: | 'I wouldn't throw a doubt on his [Edward Garnett's] judgement but I understand he has been lately crying up [through his review in "The Nation" ] two books of which one (a sea book) is the most suburban thing (I mean spiritually) I've ever read. The other is a South American novel both portly and strangely disorderly--if I may express it so. But I had better say nothing more since I have written once a sea book and also a portly S.American novel.' |
