Editor's Note:
Excerpt from The Grapes of ParadiseA great deal of this, I must point out, has changed now. During the war bombs ripped out the entire centre of the collar and you can still see the dirty scars made by Shells on the grassy slopes above the town. But two things remain exactly as they were when I lived with my mother there and, in the long' blistering summer of 1921, when I was eighteen, I first met an officer in the guards, a man of forty, named Captain Archie Blaine. The first thing that has never changed at all is the castle itself. It has the imperishable and inviolate air that belongs to great churches and high mountains. But sometimes.
