DEDICATION
To C. F G. Masterman, M. P.
My Dear Charles,
I originally called this book "What is Wrong," and it would have
satisfied your sardonic temper to note the number of social
misunderstandings that arose from the use of the title. Many a mild
lady visitor opened her eyes when I remarked casually, "I have been
doing 'What is Wrong' all this morning." And one minister of religion
moved quite sharply in his chair when I told him (as he understood it)
that I had to run upstairs and do what was wrong, but should be down
again in a minute. Exactly of what occult vice they silently accused me
I cannot conjecture, but I know of what I accuse myself; and that is, of
having written a very shapeless and inadequate book, and one quite
unworthy to be dedicated to you. As far as literature goes, this book is
what is wrong and no mistake.
It
