Billtry by Mary Kyle Dallas is parody on Trilby. It is a fresh compliment to Mr. Du Maurier's popular book that it has reached the dignity of parody. "Billtry" presents, in burlesque form, an outline of the story, a suggestion of the characters and a suggestion also of the author's style. It is done in broad lines, of course, but the likeness is unmistakable. The scene is in the studio of the three bachelor girls, the Giraffe, the Lady of Shallott and Little Beckie, whom the others "just simply adored." Billtry is a very tall model with very long feet, who talks Bowery slang, and who eventually marries Mrs. Snively, of the Conservatory of Music downstairs, who taught the accordion and the mouth harmonicum, and others of "those sweet and simple instruments which people affect to despise nowadays." The disanointed, parenthetical style, the slang and mock Spanish, all lelp to make a successful burlesque, to which the caricatures of Du Maurier's illustrations contribute not a little. --Book News, Vol. 13 [1895]
