"It was with May Mischief that all the terrible blast of storm began (as
indeed most storms among men ever do begin with a bonny lass, like that
concerning Helen of Troy, which lasted ten years and of which men speak
to this day). The tale began with May Mischief, as you shall hear. I
keep the old name still, though the years have gone by, and though now
in any talks of the old days, and of all our ancient ploys, there are
the bairns to be considered. But it is necessary that ere the memory
quite die out, some of us who saw these things should write them
down."--_The Foreword._
