TO MY SON
PREFACE
These pages are mainly concerned with men and women who, in days gone by, have done my wife and me the honour to sit at our table, and have now left us. I think of their Empty Chairs from a warm corner of my heart: their friendship has brightened my life and stored my mind with rosemary.
Having already written Recollections , I am bound to repeat myself, so let me plead forgiveness for the besetting sin of advanced years.
My apology for the book is its last chapter.
