Excerpt from A Mingled Chime: An Autobiography In planning this book I made the proper resolution to set down nothing that I had not seen or heard for myself. I there fore left the Opening chapter until the end, hoping that the shadowy impressions Of my earliest days might by that time have taken a more tangible shape. But, to my dismay, that far-off period continued to be as vague as ever, and it was clear that if I were to give any account Of it all, I should have to seek the' aid of others who were then' on the scene.
