Darwin's reviews of Blackheath and Bude & North Cornwell share similar references to congestion dangers on mixed-used commons. Blackheath's demise is foreshadowed in Darwin's stylistic way.
In Blackheath and Bude, Darwin makes a refence to "nursery maids," and the sentence in the Bude portion is one of the best in the book: "When we have paid for the windows and buried the nursery maids, we play quite a short but deceptive iron shot to the seventeenth, avoiding a bunker and a sandy road, and so home with a good two-shot hole to end with."
