Hardy that H. G.. Wells on first be-
holding him. exclaimed:
""Whst? That little gray man :"
With all his shyness, however,
Hardy wrote in a bold, striking man

said, was more French than English
in that he saw all that is irrespon-
sible for good and evil in a woman's
character, all that is untrustworthy
in her brain and will, all that is al

apologist. but always with a reserve
