Excerpt from Me and Peter The unnamed "Me" in this unusual memoir is one whom I knew even better than I knew Peter. After many years of separation, during which I had almost forgotten of his existence he came to me in my little cabin as I idled a few glorious summer months by the sea, in an almost unknown inlet of the Gulf of Georgia, in the Far West. At the end of a long conversation on the days of auld lang syne, he rose and placed a manuscript in my hand. "You remember Peter, " he said, "and you learned to love him. But, with the days of our boyhood, Peter is gone. Read this over at your leisure, and, afterwards, do what you will with it." I read it, and read it again. I have smiled, I have laughed, and I have wept, not so much at what I found in it, as at the recollections it brought back to me: what it made me remember of the things I had long, long given up thinking of - some pleasant, a few sad, but all mellowed by the passing years. Maybe you, too, will remember Peter - sometimes real, sometimes the spirit of him only - who comes into all our lives and leaves us the better for having been with us.
