Dedication

To all
Who despise hypocrisy and deception
Who admire manly courage and womanly devotion
Whose hearts yet vibrate to the chords of romance
And who respect simple faith in and gratitude to God
This book is respectfully dedicated
by the author.

—Charles Clark Munn, Rockhaven

Through a Glass—Darkly

Too often a community will play down the moral question if the sin is large—and profitable—enough, but a small sin is never let to die. Maybe it's because so few of us have the capacity to sin in the grand manner, but we all can sin sordidly. And we can't forgive people for being as weak as we ourselves are.

—Zenna Henderson, Through a Glass—Darkly.
