I find her statements about Jane even more incredible than those about H.G.* I think H.G. ought not to be allowed to suspect that she says things against Jane. If H.G. has no objection to my guardianship, I can take it on without bothering as to the truth or falsehood of what she says." "I felt I should become religious if I lived on a farm in the middle of this vast prairie." "Winnipeg is full of socialists and atheists—more than if it were in U.S.A."

*[H.G. Wells]
