Scented Isles and Coral Gardens: Torres Straits, German New Guinea and the Dutch East Indies/L'Envoi
L'ENVOI
IF there be any who have travelled with me through all these lands I have written about, I thank them for their good-nature, and their endurance of my many moods.
I have treated them almost as if they were intimate friends with whom one need not be formal, because I know the world I live in, and that there are still in it many kindly human beings who respond to friendly greetings; and to them I now bid Farewell.
