      Preface

       Table of Contents

      This is a true story.

      It has been rewritten only so far as was necessary to conceal personalities.

      It is a terrible story ; but it is also a story of hope and of beauty.

      It reveals with startling clearness the abyss on which our civilisation trembles.

      But the self-same Light illuminates the path of humanity: it is our own fault if we go over the brink.

      This story is also true not only of one kind of human weakness, but (by analogy) of all kinds; and for all alike there is but one way of salvation.

      As Glanvil says: Man is not subjected to the angels, nor even unto death utterly, save through the weakness of his own feeble will.

      Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

      No, I was feeling quite a different kind of rotten. I looked at my mind, as the better class of flying man soon learns to do, and I really felt ashamed of myself. Take me for all in all, I was one of the luckiest men alive.

      War is like a wave; some it rolls over, some it drowns, some it beats to pieces on the shingle; but some it shoots far up the shore on to glistening golden sand out of the reach of any further freaks of fortune.

      Let me explain.

      My name is Peter Pendragon. My father was a second son; and he had quarrelled with my Uncle Mortimer when they were boys. He was a struggling general practitioner in Norfolk, and had not made things any better for himself by marrying.

      However, he scraped together enough to get me some sort of education, and at the outbreak of the war I was twenty-two years old and had just passed my Intermediate for M.D. in the University of London.

      Then,
