Synopsis
Excerpt from The Scented Garden
I Find it difficult to express my gratitude to the Hon. Vicary Gibbs and to Colonel Messel for all the help they have so kindly given me, particularly with the lists. To both of them I am further indebted for reading the book in proof. I am also indebted for much kind help to Mr. J. Comber.
Parts of this book have already appeared in article form in The Spectator and one part in The Landmark, and I am indebted to the editors for their kind permission to include these articles.
I have quoted some lines at the end of the book from a poem which I liked and copied a few months ago from one of the leading journals. Unfortunately, I made no note at the time of the source or the name of the writer, who, I hope, will forgive me for quoting without acknowledgment.
