Reading Experience:

Evidence:

E. M. Forster to Forrest Reid, 5 October 1913: 'It's a good little sketch I think, and shows you can do a catastrophe if you choose. I never guessed he had murdered his wife, but my mother did. I have kept it longer than I ought, and not for any reason. The second time I read it, I enjoyed it more.'
