Excerpt from Recollections of Auton House: A Book for Children With Illustrations
These reminiscences are written to satisfy the Auton who com posed them, and to amuse the Autons who may read them. Grown up people never cease to be young. They are only old boys with hats and whiskers, and old girls with frizettes and eye glasses, that 's all. There are many Auton houses in the land, and lots of Auton children wandering over it, but the original Auton House is gone forever, and we can only catch the echo of its revelry in our ear, and detect a smack of its good cheer lingering on our tongue.
