Description
Excerpt: Chapter 1. THE FACE AT THE WINDOW. John Menzies Grant, having breakfasted, filled his pipe, lit it, and strolled out bare?headed into the garden. The month was June, that glorious rose?month which gladdened England before war?clouds darkened the summer sky. As the hour was nine o?clock, it is highly probable that many thousands of men were then strolling out into many thousands of gardens in precisely similar conditions; but, given youth, good health, leisure, and a fair amount of money, it is even more probable that few among the smaller number thus roundly favored by fortune looked so perplexed as Grant.
