Dedication
TO MY LITTLE SON JACK
AND
TO HIS SCHOOLMATES AT “RAMSBURY”
BIRCHINGTON-ON-SEA
Dear Boys,
It was amongst you all that I wrote the last chapters of this romance. To you, therefore—to your growing manhood, your pretty, budding thoughts of chivalry and honour, which I so loved to see developing in the tender atmosphere of your dear little school-home by the sea—I inscribe and dedicate this record of a noble and good man’s life.
Emmuska Orczy.
