Excerpt from Long Live the King

How strange it seems to recall those days after this long lapse of time, and all the adventures that have come between! When I think of the child whose curious fancies, strange whims, and still stranger life I am about to portray, I find myself inclining towards what is certainly a feeling of bewilderment, and one that might almost be said to be akin to pain. That the little fellow I can see in my mind"s eye, playing so happily on the far side of that dark river of years, is myself, the man sitting in this chair, who, pen in hand, is trying so hard to arrange his thoughts, is to me scarcely believable. Between the two there looms so vast a difference that it would appear as if no possible connecting link could serve to unite them with each other. Whether I am better or worse for the change must be left for more competent judges to decide.

Looking back, I can scarcely determine which is the first event in my life that I can recall.
