Excerpt from The Ghost a Modern Fantasy If you had seen me standing irresolute on the pavement, tapping my stick of Irish bog, oak idly against the curbstone, you would have seen a slim youth, rather nattily dressed (i think), with a shadow of brown on his upper lip, and a curl escaping from under his hat, and the hat just a little towards the back of his head, and a pretty good chin, and the pride of life in his ingenuous eye. Quite unaware that he was immature! Quite unaware that the supple curves of his limbs had an almost fem inine grace that made older fellows feel pater nal! Quite unaware that he had everything to learn, and that all his troubles lay before him! Actually fancying himself a man because he had just taken his medical degree.
