Excerpt from Mr. Dickens Goes to the Play

My dear Kate Douglas Wiggin:

Surely it is unnecessary to explain why, of all the books I might possibly provoke, this one must needs especially be dedicated to you - you who rode with Mr. Dickens to Portland long ago and told him why you liked "David Copperfield" best of all and what parts of his novels were rather dull and why your yellow dog was named Pip and how your other dog (who had fought with Pip in your garden) was, inevitably, named Mr. Pocket.

Nor need there be any explaining of a Dickens book compiled by one who was brought up on his stories. Without them I should hardly have had the key to all that my grandfather and my mother were wont to say across the head of this young Brooks of Sheffield. One of the last memories I have of my grandfather is of an autocrat of nearly ninety years, sitting fiercely on the vine-hung verandah of his old house down in Jersey. In his declining years he had relinquished little by little the supervision of his farm and his factory. But he still kept an eye on those hollyhocks of his.
