A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

I nformation. Rosa Dartle. He looked a sufficiently martial figure as he parted from his khaki-clad companions and trudged away from the main road. However, Arnold Winterset was not an offensive warrior, but an unpaid, part-time defender of his country at a time when its regular forces were elsewhere engaged. The rifle slung on his shoulder was of a deadly pattern, but unloaded; the cartouches about his slim middle were all empty; except for the bayonet on his hip he was unarmed; he was off duty. He topped a rise and walked on briskly to the music of birds along a narrow lane above dew-wet green fields, the chalk downs to the north surmounted by an immense regiment of silver balloons a phalanx defending London from the flying-bombs ... he heard, somewhere ahead of him, the whine of an approaching car, driven fast, and he moved off the middle of the road towards the grass verge. The car, a high-built saloon, rose in front of him and came on, up, and at him, at dizzy speed. Arnold knew the sharp panic common to all flesh-and-blood suddenly made aware of the immediate menace of violent contact with mechanized steel thundering in terrible omnipotence over a common rightof-way. .. .I adman! he exclaimed mentally. Then panic turned to terror. That confounded car was coming right at him! It was, indeed. .. .A rnold was moderately battle-trained.
