Marion Dorn and McKnight Kauffer lived in London from 1923 until July 1940.
It is possible Bennett is referring to Melville's novella "Benito Cerreno" in his citation of "Cerrito Cerrini".
Summary:
Explaining to him "...that the present enterprise does not embrace a long novel, but only a long-short story, of about the length of, say 'Cerrito Cerrini'. 'The Old Wives Tale' is therefore for the present out of the question. You will shortly receive a copy of the volume containing 'Elsie and the child'. You have only to deal with the first story in the volume."
Provenance:
Purchased from Marion Dorn Kauffer, 1955.
