Thanks Veen! I think I might append your translation to the book. I guess Skayne wasn't particularly taken by the book - or perhaps he/she had a dramatic falling out with this Elske figure, and had to get rid of it to forget. A mystery we'll never know the answer to! It reminds me of a possibly apocryphal story about George Bernard Shaw, who found a copy of one of his own plays in a second-hand shop, and discovered it was a copy he himself had given to a friend with the inscription "With esteem, G B Shaw." So he bought and sent it to them again, adding "With renewed esteem, G B Shaw."
