xviii DEDICATORY LETTER
Hence almost every page in this book speaks of some ex-
perience shared together: our talks of the medieval church on
the hills above Ballaigues and looking across to Mont Blanc;
our pilgrimages to churches and villages in Normandy, Provence
and the Morvan; our daily labours, side by side, at La Forclaz
(while the June snows and biting winds raged without); and,
most constantly, of course, our innumerable walks and talks by
the side of the Cam.
So I dedicate to you what is in every valuable respect your
own; well knowing that you will welcome what is good in it as
a little step forward in the studies which we both have at heart;
and, above all, hoping that you will regard it as u token of
abiding gratitude and affection from your pupil and friend,
H. S. a
