Evidence:
'I have just read King Lear. I think you are more like Goneril than Regan and more like Regan than Cordelia. But you have many qualities that none of these three sisters possessed such as being able to plant wallflowers. It is a probable play. It is the kind of thing which might happen any day and I daresay it happens in the east end very often. And one feels it was bound to happen.'
