TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
The Table of Contents has been created by the Transcriber.
The original text deliberately leaves a space after a dash (a spaced mdash)in some dialog, and capitalizes the following word, when it describesa disjointed thought. For example ‘isn’t it— Is this all’, incontrast to ‘Is—is the place’. This spaced mdash is retained inthe etext.
Some minor changes to the text are noted at the end of the book.
