Alcott would have swooned were her characters to come in contact with even the slightest and most innocent indeli- cacy, the good-looking modern Eng- lishy Bagnold has her set of brash 20th Century brats talk merrily in the mod- ern English stable manner. Ah me, for the good old days when Grammaw rode sidesaddle and never knew that a horse extended behind her, or as George Ade recently said, when a woman’s waist would fit in your two hands but she couldn’t sit down in a bathtub. Yep, sentiment was sentiment in those days and not mixed up with earthy sediment. In any case, don’t let these windy sighs distract you from “National Velvet.” It gallops along as racily as its story of Velvet, a buck-and-braced-toothed cluck of 14, who rode like she was part of the horse; got a racing stable when a grumpy old curmudgeon with a heart and pot of gold, committed suicide and left it to her; and eventually won the Grand National. Of course women never win the Grand National but La Bagnold has the fairy tale touch that makes for a happy ending. ‘TOLL River” by James Boyd. What's happening down thar in the polite part of Carolinas? For years now, Mr. Boyd has been the head of the polite society of the hillbilly country. He has been master of the hounds and has always worn the proper redcoat while hunting. Always killing the fox in the exact manner described in the social magazines. Nor has his writing been known to stray from the beautifully correct. As you all know, Mr. Boyd has rewritten history in the Winston Churchill or glorified novel manner. He has glossed history with the glit- tering code of the lady and gentleman. He has been the press agent of our past. His books have sold like hot cakes, be- ing harmless, snobbish, romantically real. But now Mr. Boyd has gone over to the raw realistic (so he thinks) in this 600-pager, which starts in the ’80s and plows right thru the years to today. Not that Mr. Boyd has become the Great Champion of the people; and not that his characters aren’t still confined to his narrow social sphere; and not that Mr. Boyd doesn’t write with the fine polish of the gentlemanly writer, but somehow it is amazing that he should suddenly come into contact with other facts be- sides the melodramatic past. It would be as if Mr. Morgan suddenly went into the pushcart business or a Supreme Court judge suddenly wrote a hot sex novel. We can’t get over it nor the book. Boyd is better at glorifying.
