Note Relating to Cather

In her review of Phillpotts's Sons of the Morning, Cather says, "The combat between the two sisters, Margery and Sally Cramphorn, in its rich humor and lusty spirit recalls the famous battle in Tom Jones in which Mollie, the forester's daughter, lost her new gown and most of her reputation."

In A Lost Lady, Niel Herbert reads Tom Jones when he is supposed to be reading law.
