It is Interesting, says the London Chronicle, to r -all that Stevenson ha- recorded his imprisonment in France as a Herman spy, so foreign looking was he in appearance. Andrew Lang found his appearance at twenty-eight was anything but that of a Scotsman, and the same difficulty pursued the novelist through life, more especially on the continent.
