Excerpt from The Blind Marksman Will you accept this book with my love and gratitude, love for the privilege of your friendship, gratitude for all your work has taught me. You will understand the Jane of these pages, whereas I am aware that many an independent young woman of to-day will be impatient, if not angry, with her, and with the Victorian obscurities and dilemmas of her environment. But though Youth may attempt to regard the last century as an era unrelated to their own lives, it is very actively with us yet. We, who are the parents, advisers, teachers of to-day were reared under its traditions and sanctions. However splendid and audacious the rebellions of youth may be, they are opposed by the heritage of an artificial and profitless society, and the young will need wisdom as well as high spirits to build a world more fit for the high adventures of Youth and Love. For the young woman there is the building of the Home of our passionate Dream. For the young man the creating of a world of spiritual rather than material enterprise. You, who have written with so much wisdom of the triune complex of our difficult lives - body, mind and spirit - will understand where I have failed and where I have succeeded in writing of the obscurities and frustations of one woman's life.
