| Evidence: | "I stayed at home this morning - not that there is anything new in that - until lunch, and did very little, very easy work - just finishing up a small life. It rained steadily and as I had been at home all yesterday, I could not stand it any longer. So I took a cab to the London Library where I read Lewis's 'Monk' 3 vols in 25 minutes." |
