In the edition of 1890 of Drury's book, edited by Captain Pasfield Oliver, R.A., author of Madagascar, the Captain throws a lurid light on Drury and his volume. Captain Pasfield Oliver first candidly produces what he thinks the best evidence for the genuineness of Drury's story; namely a letter of the Rev. Mr. Hirst, on board H.M.S. 'Lenox, off Madagascar, 1759.
There were jokes to begin with, and laughter; some walked part of the way, and picked flowers, and sent stones bounding before them. "Who writes the best Latin verse in your college, Hirst?" Mr. Elliot called back incongruously, and Mr. Hirst returned that he had no idea.
This was so exactly Patty's present state of mind, that she felt it established a bond of sympathy at once with her companion, and encouraged her sufficiently to enquire her name. "Jean Bannerman," said the girl, "and I'm almost fifteen. What's yours?" "Patty Hirst, and I shall be fourteen in October." "Then I'm nearly a year older than you, for my birthday's in November.
"That's the worst of friendships with young women they tend to fall in love with one." To that Hewet made no answer whatever, and sat singularly still. Hirst did not seem to mind getting no answer, for he returned to Mr.

"Oh! you've taken up Patty Hirst," said Maud, "and of course you say she's always in the right. I'm afraid it's no use your trying to make excuses for her." "I don't want to," declared Enid. "I only want the truth, and Muriel knows perfectly well that it was mostly her fault." "I don't know anything about it," said Muriel. "I can't help people looking over my shoulder."
"Veal pie," said Arthur. "It's high time that horses should become extinct anyhow," said Hirst. "They're distressingly ugly, besides being vicious." But Susan, who had been brought up to understand that the horse is the noblest of God's creatures, could not agree, and Venning thought Hirst an unspeakable ass, but was too polite not to continue the conversation.
