第2章 Acknowledgments

Thanks to the key Schwartzbergs in my life—my wife Anne; my kids Evan, Mylie, and Josie; and my parents Howard and Susan—for their unconditional love and support.

Also thanks to the crack team at Berrett-Koehler, especially Neal Maillet and Jeevan Sivasubramaniam for their encouragement and expert guidance.

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

Molly forms a close attachment with Mrs. Hamley, who embraces her almost as a daughter. Molly also befriends the younger son, Roger. Molly is aware that she would not be considered a suitable match for the sons of Squire Hamley because of her status. However, she has always preferred Roger's good sense and honourable character and soon falls in love with him. Unfortunately, Roger falls in love with other girl. Molly is heartbroken, and struggles with her sorrow and her knowledge that that girl lacks affection for Roger.
