The fact is that the traditional and the ideal are as inextricably mixed
in this charming story of "Lorna Doone" as the thousand varieties of
seeds in the fairy tale which the princess was expected to sort out, and
it would be almost as difficult to separate them. Perhaps the best way,
after all, is--not to try.
