By this time Lady Burton had lost two of her Trieste friends, namely Lisa, the baroness-maid who died in 1891, and Mrs. Victoria Maylor, Burton's amanuensis, who died in 1894. Bibliography: 87. The Jew, the Gypsy, and El Islam. 1898. 88. Wanderings in Three Continents. 1901. Lady Burton at Eastbourne.
Victoria Maylor came in with the manuscript of The Scented Garden and the copy of it which she had made for the printers, and from this we may deduce that Sir Richard intended to go to press at once with the first twenty chapters of the work. He may have intended to publish the twenty-first chapter later as a second volume. At half-past nine he retired to his bedroom.
The work of transcribing Burton's manuscript and making the copy for the press fell to a widow lady, Mrs. Victoria Maylor, a Catholic friend of Mrs. Burton. Mrs. Maylor copied not only The Arabian Nights, but several of Burton's later works, including The Scented Garden. Anecdotes.
