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. 336
