<p>I have finally managed to look at the book in question at the BL: "Recollections of a Sussex Parson [Edward Boys Ellman]". Not an easy business since the cyber attack: no public computers available; only old microfilm readers usable as the newer ones are
computer-linked; couldn't order a MS. Ordering books has to be done manually - hadn't seen those forms for many a year!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Then I got the 1925 edn, whereas I suspect that McNeillie used the 1st (1912) edn. In any case, I don't have vol. 4 of the Essays to hand in London. In even more any case, I don't think he referenced this, er, reference.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>I haven't gone over every page of the book, but I think VW has misled us (having read quickly &/or remembered poorly): Ellman's daughter, Maude Walker, writes in her Memoir at the beginning of the book - and, boy, does she go on and on about his last days
(he died aged 90) - "When his eyes grew weary in the evenings, he played whist or patience, and sometimes netted string handbags to give to charity sales" (p. xxiii). At the beginning of the paragraph, she mentions that he wanted to build a Mission Church
for the distant part of the parish (his church was in Berwick).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>I hope you're satisfied!<o:p></o:p></p>

As Virginia Woolf said, it refreshes the eye.’”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
