Excerpt from The Door of the Unreal A man of modesty cannot but feel difiident in making his bow to another public thousands of miles across the sea, cousins and Allies though they be, especially when as well he is breaking entirely new ground in fiction, and essaying a sub ject of strange interest and peculiar fascination as yet untouched, so far as he is aware, by any other weaver of tales - romantic almost beyond the bounds of human credulity.

Under such circumstances, however, there would at the least have been the fullest inquiries and much unpleasant publicity throughout the length and breadth of the world, if no worse consequences, whereas now I was hopeful that, skilfully managed, it might be 14 209 hushed up by official consent in the public interest --a thing by no means unknown in certain cases. We went with Blenkinsopp back to his room, where he had ordered lunch--cold chicken and ham, followed by bread and cheese, with beer in tankards. "Rough and ready," he said, "but it saves time. I have to be back with the Chief at two, which doesn't leave too much time. I knew that I could neither take you fellows out to lunch nor go out with you; so I thought we had better lunch here. You can have whisky and soda, if you prefer it: it's in the cupboard." "Beer for me," said Manders in his usual cheerful way, which was worth its weight in radium at times of crises. "A meal for the gods; and I'm jolly hungry after being in the witness-box so long. Change of air induces appetite.
