Myth Of the Doones.

How largely Mr.. Blackmore drew
upon his imagination for the story of
Lorna Boone" is made clear by F.
w. lakewood in his book, THE Good
Old Times" There were, in fact, no
Doones. The word was simply a local
bogy, modified form of Dane" a
memory of the faroff times when the
viking invaders harried the land. "The
only vestige OF actuality discoverable
is faint tradition that fugitive from
the battle of Sedgmoor, to escape the
hangings of Judge Jeffreys, appropriate
ed the ruins of some wretched huts in
recesses OF the Badgworthy glen, now
the Doom valley finding there a safe
retreat I'm which he reared a consider

Henry James style.

Stevenson spotted the unconscion-
able repetition of certain adjectives in
Frederick Hudson" but probably the
most marked Characteristic of Henry
James style was his passion for adj
verbs and adverbial clauses. He was
the most adverbal of English writers.
You will find more adverbs othe page
than even in Meredith. And he had a
quaint habit of putting the adverb
before the verb when most writers
would put it after. One of his ladies
Qhe examples are taken at random)
thankfully felt" another "quite beau
tifully and tenderly smiled" And
after ALL crops up all over the place.
But one would not have these things
altered; they were part of the man.
One does object to them, however, in
his imitators. who have learned the
trick, but missed the spirit behind it.
