TO
R.D. BLACKMORE.
It must be an exceeding great reward, beyond all the rewards of material success, to know that you have written a book that is deep, tranquil, strong and pure. Again and again you have nobly earned that knowledge. Across the more than thirty years that divide us, the elder from the younger brother, the veteran from the raw comrade, let me offer my hand to you as to a master of our craft.
To the author, then, of a romance that has no equal save in Scott, I humbly dedicate this romance of mine.
H.C.
