Transcriber’s Notes
This transcription follows the text of the edition published by Grosset & Dunlap in August, 1926 (by arrangement with E. P. Dutton & Company). However, the following alterations have been made to correct what are believed to be unambiguous errors in the text:
- Five misplaced quotation marks have been corrected.
- The name “Simmonds” has been corrected to “Simmons” (Chapter I).
- The word “alseep” has been corrected to “asleep” (Chapter XVI).
