SOME REMINISCENCES OF THE REAL MONSIEUR AND MADAME HEGER
THIS SECOND PART IS DEDICATED TO MY BROTHER THE LATE ABBÉ AUSTIN RICHARDSON WHO DIED SUDDENLY, 20TH AUG. 1913
Dearest, before you went away And left me here behind you, How often would you talk to me, And I, too, would remind you Of stories in this book retold, That for us two could ne'er grow old; Of scenes that we could live through yet, Just you and I,—and not forget: And now I feel, since you are gone, I wrote this book for you alone.
