Footnotes
A warm and admiring inscription, written following the publication of Powell's A Buyer's Market (1952), the second of his Dance to the Music of Time novels. Waugh's "admiration for Anthony Powell was intense, so much so that he resented any disparaging remarks about his writing" (Christopher Sykes, Evelyn Waugh. A Biography, 1975, p.431.).
