PREFACE
vii
such very pleasant and friendly letters. Especially did I appreciate those from invalids, and if I did indeed afford them some hours of amusement and interest I am grateful that I was allowed to do it. I hope those same kind people will “Please come again’’ and make another journey with me in these pages. They have told me how they laughed at this or enjoyed that situation, and I in return say they cheer one on the way, and whether it is at me or the incidents they laugh, what matters is that they do laugh, as that is good for them.
