This is my favorite of today’s bunch. Thanks Sheila!
Thomas Hazlitt said “”suck up”?
William Hazlitt?? Yes. Apparently he did.
I got it out of Michael Schmidt’s book Lives of the Poets – so it is second-hand, I suppose.
Dearest: William, of course. Perhaps it was thomas who said ‘suck up.’ BTW, I’m sure you saw the great piece on Kate’s My Fair Lady in today’s Times. How to go!. love, dad
