Excerpt from Houseboat Days in China Imprimis, however, a word to the enlightened reader, the Old resident (bless his querulous ways I), who, rightly enough, asks to be informed of your book's raison d'???tre. A' record of Idle ness, my dear Sir, trivial things set down in garrulous mood and chiefly for the delectation (if so it may be) of fellow-idlers.
