Thomas J. Rountree linked the novel with 'The Gypsy Laddie'. With all due respect, we think that Rountree identified the wrong ballad parallel, and that he thus fails to recognize the significance of the novel's traditional counterparts. Instead, we suggest that narrative songs about cross-dressing women, and particularly about female sailors, provide a better analogue to the novel's characters, plot, and conclusion.

The English are not usually seen as ‘ethnics’ in Canada. Yet personal experience and generalization narratives of English immigrants to Ontario focus on experiences of cultural and linguistic distinctions between themselves and other Canadians. Immigrants, through these stories, develop a concept of English ethnicity which centres on the perception of cultural and linguistic differences. Though the actual content of such differences varies from one immigrant to another, they have a common evaluation of the correctness and naturalness of the English alternative.
