He was supposedly the person to whom Grey uttered the lines and as one of "the most influential political journalist of his day" (D1 n11, 157), perhaps he posited some version of or the spirit of the lines either in print or in conversation that could be connected to VW. She was definitely aware that they were "caballing" in the hallway. Or perhaps it's none of these and can be attributed to the fact that sometimes the ideas are just in the air. </div><div><br></div><div>Jean<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On May 11, 2015, at 11:43 AM, Ado Haberer <<a href="mailto:adolphe@haberer.fr">adolphe@haberer.fr</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>No footnote in Edward L.

this appeared in his autobiography in 1925! “It was his only memorable saying,
widely quoted and anthologized subsequently” (ODNB). Would it have been known
about when VW was writing JR? If so, where? If not, we shall probably have to
follow Sue Roe and Vara Neverow, and say that the sentence “prefigures” or
“anticipates” Grey’s reminiscence in 1925.</span></span></div>
