<div class="moz-cite-prefix">This is interesting, but also
intriguing. Did the person who so described Stevens know of
Woolf's comment about Eliot, I wonder? It is possible that two
people made the same joke independently, but it seems more likely
that (as in the Hill review) Woolf is being quoted without
attribution. I am assuming that there really is no such thing as a
four-piece suit, but what do I know?<br>
<br>
I am reminded of the skit:<br>
<br>
And this is good old Boston,<br>
The home of the bean and the cod,<br>
Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots,<br>
And the Cabots talk only to God.<br>
<br>
In both cases you think of a measure of upper-crustedness, and
then top it.<br>
