Here in the maturity of print is the companion of our evenings and our holidays. How much a part of the household it has been! When the manuscript went to the publisher, you said that it was like having a child leave home, and in the book that has come back to us we shall see even more than the familiar features of a member of the family. We shall find a remembrance of shared experience and of being together, of cherished intimacies and a common enterprise, a keepsake of all that life has been, a pledge of all that we would have it be.
