Although in my old age I, Allan Quatermain, have taken to writingafter a fashionnever yet have I set down a single word of the tale of my first love and of the adventures that are grouped around her beautiful and tragic history. I suppose this is because it has always seemed to me too holy and faroff a matteras holy and faroff as is that heaven which holds the splendid spirit of Marie Marais. But now, in my age, that which was faroff draws near again and at night, in the depths between the stars, sometimes I seem to see the opening doors through which I must pass, and leaning earthwards across their threshold, with outstretched arms and dark and dewy eyes, a shadow long forgotten by all save methe shadow of Marie Marais.
