NOTE
NEARLY all these pieces have appeared in the Cambridge Review, and Ithank the Editor for his courtesy in allowing me to reprint them. A fewtravesties and epigrams have been added, and others have been revised.Most of the tales were written during the War, many of them while I wasin Flanders, and at that time, being away from books, I imagined I wasdoing something new, being either ignorant or forgetful of the work ofbetter men, such as Lord Dunsany and Mr T. W. H. Crosland, in a verysimilar form. To such gentlemen, I can only offer an apology if I seemto enter their little pleasaunces and tread clumsily where they who wentbefore me stepped so lightly and delicately.
