The first question asks whether a supplement was even necessary since the original novel did not seem to be incomplete.

The novel does seem to show signs of hurry at the conclusion.

His first novel, The South, seems to have ingredients of both lines of work.

And so when I watch the show, its personal nature is far more intense than the novel has ever seemed to me.

Like the circumstances of its creation, the finished novel seems at once spontaneous and premeditated.

His novels, too, seem to be pervaded by overbearing mothers.

The schools portrayed in these novels share some similarities with Chadwick but don't seem to be based on it.

The novel only seems to be a simple story.

My novel of the Revolution seemed to be of this second type.

But the difference was exactly what Pond says: that the novel didn't finish properly, but seemed to go on to something else.
