1 Ilchester, Earl of, Henry Fox, First Lord Holland ... (London, 1920), i, 31 ff., 44 ff.; cf. B. C. A. Windle, The Wessex of Thomas Hardy, pp. 187 ff., and F. O. Saxelby, Hardy Dictionary, under “Reynard, Stephen.”

2 For the story in detail, cf. my article, PMLA, xliii (1928), 646 ff. My attention was first called to Betty Dornell's marriage, as similar in circumstance to Douglas Howard's, by my friend and colleague, Professor Grace H. Macurdy.

3 Bindon died, in trouble and disrepute, six years after the marriage, while quarrels arising from it were still bitter.—After the first few pages, the love story in Hardy diverges from Elizabeth Horner's (as also from Douglas Howard's), becoming more complicated and melodramatic.
