2This play is the outcome of many happy walks in the foreststhat border Charlemagne's ancient capital. The writerand her husband would often pause to view some beauty-spot;at times she would read aloud the rare legends collected byJoseph Muller.
She has now tried to catch some of the interest and joy ofthose gone by summers to pass on to relatives and friends. Ifshe has failed it is not the fault of the theme.
Let none throw doubt on Emma's reality. Who lives inmyth, lives for all time.
