Evidence:
'Monday 5th July I finished ?Mr Prohack? last night. A fine book but I did not take to Mrs P. nor even to Mr Bennett?s views on the feminine. I do not quarrel with them. I am not qualified to do so, knowing little of women, but if his representations are correct ? well, I hate the thought, it makes me a gloomy pessimist. Therefore I don?t think them correct.'
