COMPARISON
A word-by-word comparison of text from the original serialization in Cassell's Magazine (1889) and the revised novelization published by London : Methuen & Co. (1899) and New York : Scribner's (1899).
Hornung's revision was chiefly for style, characterization, and consistency.
The majority of changes are grammatical: adding dashes (cigarette-case (1899, 2p), rock-oil (29p)), removing or adding em-dashes (1898, 9p to 1899, 24p; 1898, 9p to 1899, 26p) and spaces (1898, 11p to 1899, 35p; 1898, 193p to 1899, 57p), and adjusting commas (1898, 193p to 1899, 55p; 1898, 7p to 1899, 17p). Others revisions adjust words for flare (1898, 198p to 1899, 70p), clarity (1898, 198p to 1899, 71p), or especially character.
Characterization adjustments range between those that reveal character and those that change it. For example, the first page of the book has Raffles "discard" instead of "change" his dining jacket for one of "innumerable" instead of "many" blazers (1898, 3p to 1899, 1p)—a change which highlights Raffles' apparent affluence in contrast to Bunny's ragged desperation and envy.
In the original, Bunny reveals that he has no living family, was an only child, and has squandered his father's fortune (4p) while in the revision he says only that he has no family (4p). Although his sentiment is the same—that he is fortunate that they are not alive to revile him—the omission removes an insight to his personal venality. As an only son, Bunny had the sole responsibility of maintaining the family estate; instead, he ignored his duty and became destitute. Thus, Raffles introduces burglary to a man who already has the vice of deliberate betrayal in him—not a blameless and hesitant lord fallen on hard times. To maintain the latter characterization, Hornung continued to adjust Bunny's responses to crime. In the book, he no longer confesses that "Perhaps I'm bitten with it just as you were; perhaps I meant what I said when you promised to help me, and perhaps I mean it still" (1898, 12p). Instead, Bunny reflects earlier in the story that he was "unconscious" of an "involuntary zeal" that held him "spellbound and entranced" (1899, 30p). Therefore, Raffles must continue to convince Bunny to join him in future thefts, rather than rely on Bunny's active, amoral enjoyment of crime. In the most clearly illustrative change, Hornung swaps Bunny's "faint-heartedness" towards crime with "disinclination" (1898, 191p to 1899, 48p).
In addition, Bunny's literary talents were added in the first two stories of the bound version. Raffles suggests taking writing up as a living (1899, 4p), which Bunny successfully does by the next story (48p). Only by "Gentleman and Players" does Raffles comment on Bunny's journalism in both versions: "That's why I want you to cultivate journalism," he says, after identifying cricket as his public work persona (1898, 179p to 1899, 79p).
