Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Man and Maid
From four to seven I lay awake, the prey of a growing detestation of bicycling tours, friends, scenery, physical exertion, holidays. By seven o'clock I felt that I would rather perish than spend another day in the society of the other man - an excellent fellow, by the way, and the best of company.
At half-past seven the post came. I saw the postman through my window as I shaved. I went down to get my letters - there were none, naturally.
At breakfast I said Edmundson, my dear fellow, I am extremely sorry; but my letters this morning compel me to return to town at once.
