Notes	When Mrs. Craddock's manuscript was sent to Heinemann it was rejected for indecency. It was refused by many publishers until it went to Robertson Nicoll. He saw its potentials, but didn't think it was the type of book published by his firm, Hodder & Stoughton, so he persuaded Heinemann to rethink his rejection. William Heinemann read it himself and decided to have a go with it, only if Maugham agreed to cut the compromising passages out, namely, female desire.
