DEDICATION
TO
B. W. KING-HALL
My dear Buddy,—
We have been friends for eighteen years, A considerable proportion of my books were written under your hospitable roof. And yet I have never dedicated one to you. What will be the verdict of Posterity on this? The fact is, I have become rather superstitious about dedications. No sooner do you label a book with the legend—
TO
MY BEST FRIEND
X
than X cuts you in Piccadilly, or you bring a lawsuit against him. There is a fatality about it. However, I can't imagine anyone quarrelling with you, and I am getting more attractive all the time, so let's take a chance.
- Yours ever,
P. G. Wodehouse.
