SPECTATOR COMPETITION No. 44

Set by Daniel Farson

A prize of £5, which may be divided, is offered for the concluding paragraph of a famous novel, assuming that the hero or heroine has married the runner-up—e.g., Jane Eyre and St. John Rivers.

Not more than 250 words. --

Entries must be addressed to the Spectator in envelopes marked "Competition," and must be received not later than December 28th. Results will be published in the Spectator of January 5th. (In future two weeks instead of one will be available for submitting competition entries, which means that results will be published after three weeks instead of, as at present, after a fortnight.)
