Excerpt from The Gordian Knot: A Story of Good and Evil
Circumstances seem to require a few prefatory words from me, on the completion of this novel.
A considerable interval has occurred between the issue of two of the portions into which the tale was divided for the purpose of serial publication.
For this delay I am solely answerable, and it may be well that I should state its cause.
Few who know me and my occupations will be inclined to suppose me to have been indolent, or negligent of work undertaken by me. The interruption to the issue of The Gordian Knot was occasioned by in¿uences of an exactly opposite description.
