* * * * * [In the spring, five years ago, while wandering in Algeria, the writer of these lines visited Constantine.... There often comes to him a memory of the cold, rainy, and yet spring evenings which he spent by the fire in the reading-room of a certain old and homely French hotel. In the heavy, elaborate book-case were much-read illustrated papers, and in them you could see the faded photographs of Madame Maraud. There were photographs taken of her at different ages, and among them the Lausanne portrait of her as a girl.... Her story is told here once more, from a desire to tell it in one's own way.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE HOGARTH PRESS PARADISE ROAD, RICHMOND, SURREY _PREVIOUS PUBLICATIONS_ CLIVE BELL Poems. 2_s._ 6_d._ net.
