HALLOWWORD 



TO MY FATHER 



in commemorative esteem; my beloved companion of 

 the lake and river, creator of my taste for field sports, 

 the embodiment of all that is refined, courtly, humane, 

 self-forgetful, noble, chivalric in the man — long a 

 dweller in that land where earth's fond aspirations are 

 perfectly fulfilled — this little volume is reverently and 

 affectionately inscribed.
