Boothby was the only person I met who described Buxton as being "morbid" and "saturnine" ... I can't believe that he totally invented that view, but then again maybe he was jealous at the time, and his memory of Buxton simply darkened over the years until he became the villain of the piece. In other words I don't think Boothby was consciously lying; he was speaking His truth, which was not necessarily The truth...
