'2nd February, Wednesday. I have been reading Zangwills, ?King of the Schnorres? and some other yarns of his. He is a most ingenious, and a most humorous writer. He is another of those authors who make me wonder why the ordinary reader wastes time on cheap rubbish. Here is a book, one of hundreds, which is as entertaining, as quick moving, and dramatic as any one can desire, and yet I doubt if it can hold place with B.M. Bower, Ethel M. Dell, Elinor Glyn, Zane Grey and the other tripe-mongers.'
