| Evidence: | 'I mentioned to Mr Blackwood that I had two tales I wished to publish, and at his request I gave him a reading of the manuscript. One of them was "The Brownie", which, I believe, was not quite finished. He approved of it, but with "The Bridal of Polmood" he would have nothing to do'. |
