I have so often been asked the question: But how did you come to think of The Scarlet Pimpernel? And my answer has always been: It was God's will that I should. And to you moderns, who perhaps do not believe as I do, I will say, In the chain of my life, there were so many links, all of which tended towards bringing me to the fulfillment of my destiny.
