On November 9th, 1850, and at the
early age of twenty-one produced the
ballad which Sir Walter Scott says sis
worth all the dialogues which Corydon
and Phyllis have had together, from
the days of Theocritus downward" In
1898 Lady A. Lindsay married Mr.. An.
drew Barnard, son of the Bishop Of

Mr.. Barnard dying at the Cape,
his widow returned to London,
where she enjoyed the friendship
of Burke. Windham, and others.
until her death, which occurred in the
year 1925. 1t was not until she was in
her seventy-third year that Lady Bar
nard made known the secret of the
authorshi p of thus ballad. An amusing
story is told in connection with its pro-
duction. Ga Lord Balcarres' estate
was a shepherd of the name of Robin
Gray, and for some act of his Lady
Anne resolved to immortal re his men,
DRY. Upon her Little sister entering
her room one day, Lady Anne said: Il
have been writ ne a ballad, my dear;
and l am depressing my heroine with
many misfortunes. l have already

fathers arm. made her mother fall
sick and given her auld Robin Gray for
a lover; but wish to load her with a
fifth sorrow in the last four lines.
