Dedication
To our Kind Neighbours, of Rogate,
SIR HUGH & LADY WYNDHAM
who viewed the “Villino” garden,
even from the beginning, with indulgent
eyes; and, with friendliest tact,
persisted in descrying possibilities of
grace in the wildest tangle, this
chronicle is affectionately inscribed
in pleasant remembrance
of too rare visits.
