⁂ To those who prefer quiet pictures of life to startlingincidents, the attempt to illustrate the development ofcharacter to the mysteries of an elaborate plot, and the presentationof men and women in their mixed strength andweakness to the painting of wholly virtuous ideals andwholly evil examples: who are as interested in seeing moraland intellectual forces at work in a simple country communityas on a more conspicuous plane of human action: whobelieve in the truth and tenderness of man's love for man,as of man's love for woman: who recognize the troublewhich confused ideas of life and the lack of high and intelligentculture bring upon a great portion of our countrypopulation,—to all such, no explanation of this volume isnecessary. Others will not read it.
