Dedication
TO LORIN:
Note
Together, so many years ago—seven, I think, or eight—you and I planned this story. The first chapters had the help of your criticism... then, I had to go on alone, urged by the memory of your interest. But all the blunders are mine, not yours; and any merits are yours, not mine. That it has been written, in these darkened years, has been because your happy interest still helped me.
