Excerpt from The Draytons and the Davenants: A Story of the Civil Wars But as I look at the old crumpled papers again to-day, the past lives again once more before me, and I will not let it die.

Before it passes let me use the light, and fix in my mind the scenes which will so soon vanish into dreams and silence.
