I dedicate these simple sketches of Scottish life to the belovedmemory of the “little lady,” who for forty years was theinspiration of my life. When God called her to the rest ofParadise, those who knew and loved her said—and they saidtruly—“A Mother in Israel” has been taken from us.

Requiescat in pace et perpetua lux luceat ei!
