Kernahan counted his friendships as the thing most worth remembering in his life, and here he writes of them: Swinburne, the critic Theodore Watts-Dunton who looked after him at The Pines, Field Marshal Lord Roberts, the mountaineer Edward Whymper, the hymn-writer S. J. Stone and the poet Stephen Phillips. The sketches are intimate, admiring and full of anecdote.
