PREFACE WHATEVER verdict posterity-sternest, justest of juries—may pass on "Frank Danby's" literary achievements, there can be no two opinions about her genius for motherhood. For her children, from the first days she bore them in pain to the last nights when she parted from them in agony, no burden she could carry was ever too heavy, no sacrifice she could make ever too exacting. All she possessed, of heart, of intellect, of influence or of money, she poured out for us, unstinting, in one bright continuous stream. |
