If anyone is curious about my local settings, let it be recorded that St. Bertrand de Comminges and Viborg are real places: that in ‚Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You‘ I had Felixstowe in mind. As for the fragments of ostensible erudition which are scattered about my pages, hardly anything in them is not pure invention; there never was, naturally, any such book as that which I quote in ‚The Treasure of Abbot Thomas‘. ‚Canon Alberic’s Scrap-book‘ was written in 1894 and printed soon after in the National Review, ‚Lost Hearts‘ appeared in the Pall Mall Magazine; of the next five stories, most of which were read to friends at Christmas-time at King’s College, Cambridge, I only recollect that I wrote ‚Number 13‘ in 1899, while ‚The Treasure of Abbot Thomas‘ was composed in the summer of 1904.
