Epigraph |
Er liebte jeden Hund, und wünschte von jedem Hund geliebt zu sein. JEAN PAUL Flegeljahre
(Titlepage). | |
|
Dedication |
For Dorothy, Robin and Harold | |
|
First words |
Hugh Walpole was born in New Zealand on 13 March 1884, but his story begins more exactly, and much more appropriately, with the building of an English cathedral. | |

Quotations |
|
Last words |
That a people who had for months suffered from a severe and unmerited shortage of food, who had seen every civil liberty taken out of their hands, and had been forced to surrender every Minister who had their welfare at heart, and had then been fired on for a space of four days by police who numbered at least 28,000 should, when their hour of vengence came, permit no violence, and control in themselves every impulse of greed and unlicensed possession, must always remain one of the great records of history.
