PROLOGUE BY PADRS MONTY: IN the year that the Colonel died he took little Rupert tosee the swallows fly away. I can find no better beginningthan that. When there devolved upon me as a labour of love theediting of Rupert Rays book, Tell England, I carried themanuscript into my room one bright autumn afternoon, andread it during the fall of a soft evening, till the light failed, and my eyes burned with the strain of reading in the dark.I could hardly leave his ingenuous tale to rise and turn onthe gas. Nor, perhaps, did I want such artificial brightness.

Excerpt: ...and I were off for Switzerland, to whose white heights and blue Genevan lake she loved to take me, for it was my birthplace, and, in her fond way, she would call me her mountain boy, and tell an old story of a Colonel who had gazed into his grandson''s eyes, and said: Il a dans les yeux un coin du lac. I was dreaming, then, of the Swiss mountain air, and of twin white sails on a lovely lake; and I was visualising, let me admit it, a new well-tailored suit, grey spats, socks of a mauve variety, and other holiday eruptions. So there was no space in my parochial mind for international issues and rumours of wars. Rather I was ridiculously flushed and shining, as I came upon Radley and wished him a happy holiday. Radley seemed strained, as though he had something ominous to break, and said with a dull and meaning laugh: I''m sure I hope you have one too. Observing that he was in one of his harder moods, I at once became awkwardly dumb; and there was a difficult silence, till he asked: Have you heard about Herr Reinhardt? Mr. Caesar? No, sir. Well, he left to-day for Germany. What on earth for? Why, to shoulder a rifle, of course, and fight in the German ranks. Don''t you know Germany is mobilising and will be at war with France in about thirty hours? Oh, I read something about it. But what fun! Radley looked irritated. In trying to break some strange news he had walked up a blind alley and been met by my blank wall of density. So he took another path. Pennybet is in luck, according to his ideas. All Europe plays into his hands. He''s got the war he wanted to give him rapid promotion. Why, sir, how will Germany affect him? Only in this way, Radley announced, desperately trying to get through my blank wall by exploding a surprise, that England will be at war with Germany in about three days. Oh, what fun! We''ll give ''em no end of a thrashing. I hate Germans. Excepting Herr Reinhardt. I hope he has a decent time. And White and...
