This book was planned some years ago by Martin Ross and myself. A few portions of it were written, and it was then put aside for other work.
Without her help and inspiration, it would not have been begun, and could not have been completed. I feel, therefore, that to join her name with mine on the title-page is my duty, as well as my pleasure.

Mount Music
Christian, dost them see them? sang an elder brother, small enough to be brutal, large enough to hurt, while he twisted Christian's arm as though it were indeed the rope that it so much resembled.
I won't say I saw them, because I didn't! replied Christian, who had ceased to struggle, but was as far as ever from submission; but if I had, you might twist my arm till it was like an old pig's tail and I wouldn't give in!
Possibly John realised the truth of this defiance. He administered a final thump on what he believed to be Christian's biceps, and released her.
Pretty rotten to spoil the game, and then tell lies, he said, with severity.
