Transcriber’s Notes:

Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected.

Table of contents has been added and placed into the public domain by the transcriber.

The first word on page 97 (before “Margery” in the sentence “but, Margery, I am not sane, now!”) is illegible and has been omitted.

The word “gnawing” at the end of page 216 is a best guess; the source text is nearly illegible.

Some inconsistent hyphenation has been retained from the original.
