Présentation de l'éditeur
Roger de la Have walked slowly out of the open door and down the steps of a certain club in Piccadilly, and then pulled up to look at the scene before him. He was conscious of the stream of human beings who jostled him of the men who stepped out of his way of the women who lifted their eyes and let their glances tell such a variety of tales. Here and there he returned the look, but without receiving or conveying any individual impression, for his mind was so taken up with the scene that in one sense was so familiar, and in another so new. It was London in mid June; London before the War was anything more than a possibility half believed in, half regarded as a guy to frighten the timorous. In the next house along the street, the window boxes were filled with pink geraniums, their color bleached from them by the summer night and the blaze of electricity, until they wore a transparent, intangible air.
