Synopsis
Excerpt from The Personal Touch
Their gay little staccato air beat on his brain to mock him when, in his despair, he catalogued the list of his own accomplishments, the foolish unsalable list of the dilettante whom society calls charming - I can dance; I can sing; I can fence; I can play!
He had been a month in this hole of a place and now he had arrived at the end, the vanishing point. Before he had decided to die he had tried everything he could think of to live, and not forfeit the loved one's admiration.
