Chapter I
Italic text is denoted by _underscores_. The original text deliberately leaves a space after a dash (a spaced mdash) in some dialog, and capitalizes the following word, when it describes a disjointed thought. For example ‘isn’t it-- Is this all’, in contrast to ‘Is--is the place’. This spaced mdash is retained in the etext. Some minor changes to the text are noted at the end of the book.
