CONCLUSION. 427 



to follow j'ou no farther ; for here, once more we must part. 

 Ere long, if the fates — and the booksellers — be propitious, I 

 trust to meet again, with undiminished satisfaction, each of us 

 with the other. 



And so fare ye well, who have accompanied me so far on 

 my rambling way ; and all your pleasures, as you would have 

 them, be both long and lasting ; and all your pains, as ye must 

 have them, being mortal men, brief and transitory; and so 

 may fair fortunes be al)out ye, and kind thoughts toward 

 Frank Forester.
