Synopsis

Excerpt from More About the Doctor

When The Doctor was first launched on the troubled waters of literature, I prayed that my mere snow flake on the river might make an easy and quick port; that some one might read of this good man and feel helped, but that it should have got the world-wide welcome it has got certainly never entered the heads of any of us who were connected with the launching of this small barque.

The new series is just a handful of stories I have te-told. No one is more conscious of their scrappiness than myself, but perhaps my readers will be charitable, as the original would have been, and will see that there are certain dear, intimate and lovely things I could not set down. All that need be said is that in life, so inthe unseen as a conqueror, dying as he had lived, with the high. Courage which was always his.

There are blithe tales, too, which we would gladly have passed on., Gay stories, which lshow that the Peter Pan spirit ever lived in the Doctor. In all that was lovely and young, he never changed. The years only gave him a riper judgment, a wider sympathy they never robbed him of his joyous youth.

Has your mother any pickled missionary for tea he once asked a small boy whom I know rather well.

No, said the child, feeling that his mother was rather remiss.
