FOOTNOTES

{11} Landless is not “Lackland,” but a form of de Laundeles, a Lothian

name of the twelfth century, merged later in that of Ormistoun.

{48} _Life of Dickens_, vol. iii. pp. 425–439.

{74} J. Cuming Walters, p. 102; Proctor, pp. 131–135. Mr. Cuming

Walters used an edition of 1896, apparently a reprint of a paper by

Proctor, written earlier than his final book of 1887. Hence the error as

to Mr. Proctor’s last theory.

{77} Mrs. Perugini, the books say, but certainly a daughter.

{91} What would Weissmann say to all this?

{96} So Mr. Cuming Walters quotes Mr. Hughes, who quotes Sir L. Fildes.

_He_ believes that Jasper strangled Edwin with the black-silk scarf, and,

no doubt, Jasper was for long of that opinion himself.
