300 ROAMIN* IN THE GLOAMIN* What remains to be said? Very little, I think. I am not going to retire yet a while; I would only be miserable if I had no work to do and at the moment Will Morris and I are planning still another farewell tour of America. After that I shall settle down at Dunoon for a bit and then, perhaps about 1929, make a long summer trip to all the Scottish towns in which I established the basis of my reputation thirty years ago. This is a project I have long had in mind and already I am looking forward to it with great joy and keen anticipation for the memories it will revive. Still plotting and planning — you will say. I cannot help it. It's in my blood and will, I suppose, be there right on till the End of the Road. Keep right on to the end of the road Keep right on to the end. If the way be rough let your heart be strong Keep right on round the bend. Though you're tired and weary still journey on Till you come to that happy abode Where all you've loved and been longing for Will be there— at the End of the Road! THE END
