It was violently attacked in the Scots Observer, then the organ of a group of Scotch Conservatives and literary men, with W.E. Henley at their head, and received unfriendly notice from Mrs. Oliphant in Blackwood. The two Quarterlies opened fire upon it, and many lesser guns. A letter from Mr. Meredith Townsend, the very able, outspoken, and wholly independent colleague of Mr.
The minor prophets of the time, among whom Buchner occupied a prominent place, are too numerous to mention. Strange to say, the newest and most advanced doctrines appeared regularly, under a very thin and transparent veil, in the St. Petersburg daily Press, and especially in the thick monthly magazines, which were as big as, or bigger than, our venerable quarterlies.
He possessed complete sets of the 'Idler', the 'Spectator, the 'Tatler, the 'Guardian, and the 'Rambler; and would discourse by hours together on the superiority of such publications to anything which has since been produced in our Edinburghs and Quarterlies.
Lynde said she had an awful temper; Jerry Buote, the hired boy at Green Gables, said she talked all the time to herself or to the trees and flowers like a crazy girl. They looked at her and whispered to each other behind their quarterlies. Nobody made any friendly advances, then or later on when the opening exercises were over and Anne found herself in Miss Rogerson's class.

Why, Elfride, you have brought about an odd entanglement! What does he say to you? Elfride had put down her letter with a dissatisfied flush on her face. 'I don't know.
