Excerpt from The Doves' Nest: And Other Stories Of these stories only the one called At Karori and subsequently entitled The Doll's House was finished, three days later, on October 30.

All the fragments I have found which indubitably belong to any of these stories I have included in this volume. I have also included other fragments which seemed to possess a separate existence, but I have re served most of the shorter pieces for publication with her Journal.
