Early next morning, in a large military ward of a London hospital, Austin Selwyn woke from a sleep that had been charged with black dreams, and tried to recall the events leading to his present whereabouts.
I tell you I was stunned I had no emotions concerning you or myself after that last scene only a stupefied, blind necessity to get away; a groping instinct to move toward home to make my way home and be rid for ever of the dream that drugged me! . . .
