{22a} In a brief note of two pages (Cornhill Magazine, November
1911) he makes such reply as the space permits to a paper of my own,
"Shakespeare or X?" in the September number. With my goodwill he
might have written thirty-two pages to my sixteen, but I am not the
Editor, and never heard of Mr. Greenwood's note till May 1912.

He says that I had represented him as stating that the Unknown genius
adopted the name of William Shake-speare or Shakespeare as a good nom
de guerre, without any reference to the fact that there was an actor
in existence of the name of William Shakspere, whose name was
sometimes written Shakespeare, and without the least idea that the
works he published under this pseudonym would be fathered upon the
actor . . . " (My meaning has obviously been too obscurely stated by
me.)

Mr. Greenwood next writes that the confusion between the actor, and
the unknown taking the name William Shakespeare, "did happen and was
intended to happen."

C'est la le miracle!

How could it happen if the actor were the bookless, ignorant man whom
Mr. Greenwood describes? It could not happen: Will must have been
unmasked in a day. The fact that a strange plot existed was only too
obvious. The Unknown's secret must have been tracked by the hounds
of keenest nose in the packs of rival and jealous authors and of
actors. None gives tongue.

{30a} The Shakespeare Problem Restated, p. 333.

{31a} In the passage which I quoted, with notes of omission, from
Mr. Greenwood (p. 333), he went on to say that the eulogies of the
poet by "some cultured critics of that day," "afford no proof that
the author who published under the name of Shakespeare was in reality
Shakspere the Stratford player." That position I later contest.

The Vindicators of Shakespeare, pp. 191, 192. Of course he raises
every objection, but I do not feel sure that either an affirmative or
negative result can be attained by EXPERTISE. We are not told when
or where the Bodleian obtained the book; nor what is the date of the
handwriting of the inscription about W. Hall, a personage whom we are
to meet later. A good deal of business is done in forging names in
books.
