I'm beginning to wonder if that story isn't just a bit apocryphal.

I've heard it, but not attributed to Lewis, and with an *expletive deleted* before elf, which would make the speaker possibly one of those Oxford types hostile to The Professor.

I don't have the Letters or Carpenter at hand, but perhaps can canvass those more knowledgeable than me.

Any one?
