...rate, the vessel of all love and virtue, may be a more difficult role than Lear. Her sisters Goneril and Regan, Madelon Hambro and Emily Levine, are excellent bitches but bad actresses. They read lines in a shrewish monotone which neither entertains nor shocks, and they fail to distinguish between themselves so that their characters, except for different dresses, might be identical.

...wrote all the time, but in those days there was nothing much to distinguish his work from 20 other short-story writers. The tone of the time was bleak, flat, ironical.
