Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mainspring
Came here six months ago, he said. My name is Jervis, sir. You've been in France for two years, sir?
The other was in the mood for asking rather than answering questions. How is he? He asked suddenly.
I'm not in the house very much, sir, said Jervis, the rushing wind whipping the words out of his mouth and behind them. I hear that he isn't very well, though. There's three specialists there now, in consultation, and another one, a local doctor. He bent forward over his wheel and gave voice to the horn.
