Excerpt from The Solitaries of the Sambuca I have known Daniel Mauldsley, as the author of this book here chooses to call himself, nearly all my life. We were sworn friends between the ages of ten and fourteen. A friendship of the kind is a lasting and sweet memory, and the intense intimacy and perfect confidence in each other of two schoolboys of that age, are never quite obliterated. True, we drifted far apart, and in after years were quite unable to take up the threads of the boy friendship where they had been snapped at the parting of the ways. Still never a shade came between us at any time, and in an hour of difficulty and suffering Mauldsley has remembered me and asked my help. The MS. of the book which he has sent me was written under trying and pathetic circumstances, as his story shows. He made several attempts from the little pension on the Euganean Hills to find a London publisher for it.
