“Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth…and walk
in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine
eyes; but know thou that for all these things God will
bring thee into judgment.”
“To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the
tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of God.”

Dedication
MY DEAR KIPLING,—Both of us believe that there are higher aims in life than the weaving of stories well or ill, and according to our separate occasions strive to fulfil this faith.
Still, when we talked together of the plan of this tale, and when you read the written book, your judgment thereof was such as all of us hope for from an honest and instructed friend—generally in vain.
So, as you found interest in it, I offer it to you, in token of much I cannot write. But you will understand.—
To Rudyard Kipling, Esq.
Ditchingham, 14th August, 1905.
