No Hero

An Eton boy who has escaped from his mothers influence and has fallen in love with a woman who is believed to be an adventuress is the central figure in Mr. Hornungs new story. The scene is laid in Switzerland with a background of piquant hotel gossip the narrative being in the words of a friend of the boys mother who has undertaken the task of disillusionizing the lad. The result is as unconventional as it is unexpected. A clever fresh well-told story with more than the usual measure of art in its telling.
