Excerpt from Gertrude: A Novel To write of Life as the real thing of a very real world, to paragraph the things he has seen and to transcribe the sayings of the folk who come to people his imagination, such is the priv ilege of one who has the temerity to essay the writing of a book. The chronicler of Gertrude can easily prove his right to depict many of the things within these covers. For many years he lived his life in a country hotel. Oldtown is quite as real to him as the fingers of his hand. Neither is Gertrude, herself, completely a figment of the author's imagination, and as for Harry Bushnell, there are men and women of real esh and blood who will quickly recognize him, as well as others of the folk who people these chapters. To the editors of the Saturday Evening Post the author wishes to bespeak his debt for their permission to use those portions of Gertrude that appeared within its pages. And to the reader of this book he bespeaks a friendly interest in the fortunes of the folk who have entered it.
