ABSTRACT
Rebekah Owen Mr Hardy and I were walking through Came Park and over Came Down, and speaking of The Woodlanders. He said that Grace never interested him much; he was provoked with her all along. If she would have done a really self-abandoned, impassioned thing (gone off with Giles), he could have made a fine tragic ending to the book, but she was too commonplace and straitlaced, and he could not make her.
