A Dedication TO ONE WHO BROUGHT THE COLOUR OF REALITY BACK TO LIFE AT A TIME WHEN LIFE WAS LIKE A PICTURE, AND THE FACES OF MY FRIENDS WERE LESS REAL THAN THE FACES OF MY DREAMING. TO ONE WHOSE SWEET INTEREST IN MY STORIES MADE IT SEEM WORTH WHILE TO RECALL MY AIMLESS ADVENTURES. TO ONE WHOSE GENTLE MINISTRATIONS TURNED A WEARY SICKNESS INTO A HOLIDAY, AND WIPED OUT THE MEMORY OF PAST PAIN. TO ONE WHO TAUGHT ME THAT ROMANCE LIES NOT ALL IN THE MAKING OF NEW LANDFALLS AND THE SIGHTING OF NEW MOUNTAIN-TOPS. TO HER WHO READS THIS PAGE WITH UNDERSTANDING, AND A QUICKENING OF THE PULSE, THIS STORY OF HEMMING THE ADVENTURER IS LOVINGLY DEDICATED
