PREFACE

THIS volume contains some twenty stories hitherto scattered among my many writings; my first excuse for the assemblage being that they all belong to that debatable borderland which separates for some of us, and vividly, the experiences of daily life from those of the subconscious or of dreams. Actually a number of them have come out of dreams or in waking moments by surprise; always, of course, in fragments—as it were bits of stained glass needing to be fitted; and if in fitting the pieces together I have put the stories objectively—just framing the actions and enlisting the reader to share in the interpretation—that is the method which, as I believe in it, I have as a workman always obeyed.
