NOTE
My cordial gratitude is due to Mr. William Isbister—’bestof smokers’—for allowing me (and that withso good a spirit) to quote from the Memoir of NormanMacleod. The present piece will not have been writtenin vain, as the saying is, if it sends readers to thatentertaining quarry.
I have also to thank Mr. J. C. Erskine, Hope Street,Glasgow (’Be calm, Erskine’), for furnishing me withcertain letters never before published, specimens ofwhich will be found in the text.
The extracts from the Queen’s books are made withHer Majesty’s gracious permission.
