Evidence:

'Putting my weakest books to the wall last night I came across a copy of "Howard's End" and had a look into it. But it's not good enough. E.M.Forster never gets any further than warming the teapot. He's a rare fine hand at that. Feel this teapot. Is it not beautifully warm? Yes, but there ain't going to be no tea.'
