Yes you're correct - I misunderstood. However, that does not change my view that this theory is highly unlikely. Julia was nearly 70 years old and by all accounts acted and looked her age.

With regards to Wallace's personality - there's been that many various accounts - it's difficult for anyone to say what he was really like. The descriptions range from a "nice gentleman" to "a cold and strange man". That's one of the difficulties an author must have when all witnesses from the time are dead.
I think John has done a lot of good work on the book, for which he is to be congratulated. It is certainly a task I would never undertake. He was always going to get flak no matter who he named, given there are many on the thread who have studied the Wallace case for years and are very knowledgeable.
NB - I had to look up your Latin phrase!
