He himself publicly declared that he lost more than he gained from market-gardening - he was, by the way, a - and the late Rev. D. M. Owen, Blackmore's old schoolfellow, with whom he maintained a lifelong correspondence, told me that he was constantly complaining of his pecuniary limitations. Mr Owen's reply was that he had no excuse; he had only to write another Lorna Dome to replenish his treasury to the brim. When, also, he was asked for a subscription to the Culmstock flower show, Blackmore declined, assigning as the reason that he couldn't afford it. This does not look like comparative affluence.
