Author's Foreword (Time at the Top and All in Good Time)

<br>"Well here it is, <i>All in Good Time</i>, the sequel to <i>Time at the Top</i>, appearing at last with its predecessor in one volume. And that is where it should be; because the two books together tell a single continuous story. ..." Ormondroyd explais that a sequel was never intended, but last chapters of <i>Time at the Top</i> laid the groundwork unwittingly. He returned to the 1963 story joyfully, writing the 1975 sequel. <i>All in Good Time</i> "ends with a hint that a second sequel might be impossible. Ignore it, please." Editor, publisher, and writer were happy with returning to the story once.

A short two pages in print.
"Edward Ormondroyd" over "2011" is the two-line closing as published in the Purple House paperback omnibus, where its heading is "Author's Foreword".
