A Note about Style

Attentive readers of Susan Herron Sibbet’s imagined memoir will notice British spelling, the unusual contractions and punctuation of quotations from fiction by Henry James as published more than a century ago, and the inconsistency of that published style with the style of James’s concurrent handwritten letters, with James’s plays published three decades after the Master’s death, and with the narrative style used by Theodora Bosanquet writing in the late 1950s. Attentive readers will also notice that the afterword, acknowledgments, and notes bring the reader up to modern times through the use of current US style.
