Excerpt from Rupert Brett: The Story of a Modern Experiment
The sad thing is that none of these beginnings (quite excellent in themselves) will fit in with my story. The tmily history and previous doings of my here are pointless and unnecessary. The scenery method, too, is impossible, for we begin at the corner of a street, and, even though the street is in Milan, we cannot drag in the blue Italian sky, as the day I want you to picture is dull and cloudy. But a start must be made, So let' us take a plunge and hope for the best.
On a certain dull April afternoon in Milan two persons might have been seen waiting in the Corso Venezia for the Monza tram. The elder was aged thirty-two and of middle height; his short beard and coarse moustache only partly hid the mouth of a kindly cynic dark, wavy. Hair crowned a thoughtful brow, and fire creed' of an idealist shone out from the whdows of his eyes. His companion was a boy of fourteen, slender and refined, not as yet touched by the worldliness of Eton and that spoiling and flattery to which wealth and position appear to condemn a man.
