  To my wonderful husband who has listened to me prattle on about Victorian
  train schedules, telegraphs and when the Metropolitan Police Act was passed
  and a constabulary official rather than a magistrate would be summoned. In
  short, thank you for being willing to tolerate living with an often insane and
  frequently disorganized writer.
