Transcriber's Notes:
A heading "ADVERTISEMENTS" has been inserted to divide the text from the advertisements which follow it. A page of advertisements at the front of the book has been moved to the end.
There were two headings before the epilogue; one of these has been removed.
On p. 138, the letter "n" in "no further" was not printed and is conjectural.
The following are inconsistently hyphenated in the text:
- almond tree and almond-tree
- brandy bottle and brandy-bottle
- dog roses and dog-roses
- mountain side and mountain-side
- under lip and under-lip
- mean-time and meantime
- re-marriage and remarriage
The following errors have been corrected:
- p. 135 "homesicknness" changed to "homesickness"
- p. 168 "responsibilty" changed to "responsibility"
- p. 247 "if Isidoro," changed to "of Isidoro,"
