BY DORNFORD YATES WARD, LOCK & CO., LIMITED LONDON AND MELBOURNE PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY PURNELL AND SONS PAULTON (SOMERSET) AND LONDON _DEAR VALERIE,_ _When a writer admits that he has an affection for something which he has written, it is high time to pray for his soul. Yet I make bold to confess that there are in this book some passages which I hold dear--a seeming vanity, which must be explained._ _Many times you have found me at work upon these chapters. Often you have taken ill-written pages of manuscript from my table and, sitting down in a chair, deciphered them for what they were worth. Once or twice, whilst you read, you have fallen into silvery laughter._ _Do you wonder that I treasure the sentences which drew forth such music?_ _This is my dedication._ _As many as see you are glad of the sight. All who know you are proud of the honour. But the man whose efforts your mirth has commended is the proudest and happiest of the lot._ _Need I say that your name is not Valerie? I think not. You will know whom I mean._ _Most faithfully yours,_ _DORNFORD YATES._ _Pau, November, 1920._ CONTENTS I HOW WILL NOGGIN WAS FOOLED, AND BERRY RODE FORTH AGAINST HIS WILL II HOW DAPHNE WROTE FOR ASSISTANCE, AND MR. HOLLY WAS OUTBID III HOW A MAN MAY FOLLOW HIS OWN HAT, AND BERRY TOOK A LAMP IN HIS HAND IV HOW NOBBY CAME TO SLEEP UP
