I dedicate these simple sketches of Scottish life to the beloved memory of the “little lady,” who for forty years was the inspiration of my life. When God called her to the rest of Paradise, those who knew and loved her said—and they said truly—“A Mother in Israel” has been taken from us.
Requiescat in pace et perpetua lux luceat ei!
