And yet—and yet, I appreciate the honor that has been done me by the
eminent association under the auspices of which this book is compiled,
and I will drop just a hint. Reader, _your_ Kuppenheimer (in case you
are so fortunate as to possess one) can be of the same faint, elusive,
subtly napless shade, if you will treat yours as I did mine.
And withal, I am compelled to admit that the unique quality of MY
Kuppenheimer was the result of an accident. I will tell you part and
let you guess the rest—if you can—and if you do guess it, you will have
a Kuppenheimer worth owning.
