Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Romance
We have created a river life since those days. The Thames is much even to the twentieth century. Clubs arise on every hand. The Blues to-day drive over from Windsor to the vales below Hambledon and, it may be, have a poor title to accuse their forefathers. There is no prettier thing in modern life than the water pageant; none so readily acknowledged at the zenith of the summer. But that which is changed is the fundamental notion of a man's honour and of the price he must pay to defend it.
