Excerpt from Two Sides of a Question
Unspeakable, unlikeable, worse than all, unsketchable. A woman has no more formidable rival than her idea in the head of an imaginative young man, and Maurice Durant had been rash enough to fall in love with Miss Tancred before sight.
He was rash in everything. When the Colonel asked him down to Coton Manor for a fortnight, he accepted the invitation (with much pleasure) by return, and lay awake half the night with joyous anticipation. He was in the train steaming into the Midlands before he realized that he knew nothing of his host beyond a vague family tradition. He was his (Durant's) godfather; he was a retired Colonel of militia; he had given him (Durant) a hideous silver cup; but this was the first time he had given him an invitation. There was something more, too.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Delve into the complexities of human relationships amidst the suffocating grip of boredom in this intriguing narrative. The author weaves a tale that unravels within the walls of Coton Manor, where Maurice Durant, a young artist, finds himself ensnared in a fortnight-long visit with his godfather, Colonel Tancred, and his enigmatic daughter, Miss Tancred. As Durant attempts to navigate the endless hours, he confronts the excruciating monotony of whist games and the Colonel's relentless chatter. Miss Tancred, an inscrutable figure, emerges as a symbol of stifled aspirations and hidden depths. Through the author's keen observations, this novel explores the themes of individuality, conformity, and the search for meaning in a world that often seems to stifle the human spirit. The insights presented challenge readers to reflect on the profound impact of boredom on our lives and the lengths we may go to escape its clutches.
