Excerpt from Days in Thule With Rod, Gun, and Camera
Beauty in a somewhat similar locality should find here and there points of slight resemblance in some description of scenery or sporting inci dent, I beg him remember that in the writing of novels, as in the spinning of anglers yarns, an occasional lapse into truth is desirable to give the effect of realism. At the same time let me hasten with all possible speed to say, that it was not at Gheira Lodge I made the acquaintance of those three remarkable Cockney sportsmen who figure in the work of fiction. What we really did, and how we did it, is herein more or less truthfully described, with some slight change of names, which was obviously desirable.
