So Bruno should have some mysteries to solve in the future, even as he stands guard on all the traditions and peculiarities that make France and the Périgord so beguiling. But Bruno would hardly be Bruno without the devoted ministrations of Jane and Caroline Wood and Jonathan Segal, who whipped this book into shape with their customary and attractive blend of firmness, frankness and charm. I am most grateful to them, and to my wife, Julia Watson, and our daughters, Kate and Fanny, without whom I suspect we would not have made nearly so many friends.
