This transcription follows the text of the book as it was published in 1926 by Dodd, Mead and Company. However, the following changes have been made to passages in Chapter XVII, to correct what are believed to be unambiguous errors in the printing: * “world would have spelled” to “word would have spelled”; * “man named Wood” to “man named Woods”. Additionally, incorrectly matched quotation marks were corrected in four places. All other seeming errors have been left as they appear in the original.
