The drama is that of the actual events in its main development; but the vital incidents, or the vital uses of them, are the author‘s. At times he has enlarged them; at times he has paraphrased the accounts of the witnesses; in one instance he has frankly reproduced the words of the imposter as reported by one who heard Dylks‘s last address in the Temple at Leatherwood and as given in the Taneyhill narrative.
