Excerpt from The Kiss of Apollo At the drawing-room window of a town house a butler paused for a moment before lowering the shade. It was early dusk. The street lights had just sprung into their regular lines of glare. For an hour the great shaded lantern in the hallway had been burning and now as Martin stood, cord in hand, to drop the last tea-coloured silk shade that shut the world outside, he gave an envious sigh for this hour of the street. For him those after dark were fully absorbed in their own cares and triumphs, but this half hour, unless there was company for tea, left him without zest or duty, just as the lure and passion of the streets became seductive. Martin, who was Swiss, had never heard of mob psychology. It had got hold of him nevertheless and often gave him a bad quarter of an hour.
