Parmenter, Ross. Novelist into playwright. [Thornton Wilder]. In : Saturday review of literature ; vol. 18, 11 June (1938).
As we shook hands at parting, he asked me please to leave in his "perhapses" and "it may bes" because he felt their tentativeness was very much part of him. I felt, on the other hand, that his request was largely shyness, that the man who passed his adolescence as a stranger in China and his young manhood as a retired master at a boy's school had outgrown that tentativeness more than he knew.
