Dorothy Whipple
She decided to write this one in preference to a different potential novel which was also pressing to be written. She made two false starts before she could feel the story was launched. For use in it she observed the upper classes (first-hand, at the meet of the local foxhounds, and through the comments on them of workmen) and legal procedure, at the Nottingham Assizes. She also visited an engineering works, which caused her to reflect on the different worlds inhabited by men and women, to look with respect at the hot, dirty, efficient men at work, and to register her amazement that men, who seem to have every advantage of living, of power, freedom, strength, and often of education, are nevertheless very often frightened of women, and that despite talk of the husband as head of the house, in practice the strongest personality dominates, and that that was often the wife's. After a scrappy first draft, in which her plot looked good to her, she began on a second feeling that the plot was thin. I don't like having to concoct plots, I like doing people. At a later stage, feeling at a loss and afraid to tackle her big scenes, she resolved on another re-write. By the time the proofs arrived, the sight of her work in print had lost its power to thrill her. She was unhappy about having agreed to issue the work in instalments (in Good Housekeeping, from December 1933), and still more unhappy about the stupendous advertisements. She was deeply indignant, too, when
refused to delay publication for the sake of having the book appear as an Evening Standard Book of the Month. Nevertheless, 7,000 copies were sold before the date of publication, and soon afterwards the title appeared on best-seller lists. On publication cheques came in, first for £450 and then for £500.
