SYNOPSIS During the two minutes’ silence on Armistice Day. Nov. 11, 1937, a conversation develops between two well groomed strangers aboard a railroad train speeding through England's midland. One tells of a “partial loss of memory'' as the result of shell-shock in the first World War. The other (the narrator of this story) is discussing memory and dreams with the prosperous looking veteran who confesses that "sometimes I have a feeling of being somebody else." He mentions a mountain that be had seen from the train that morning. CHAPTER TWO “Dunne .«uys it’s due to a halfremembered drcam. You should read his book An Experiment with Time. He says—this, of course, is condensing his theory very crudely —that drcams do foretell the future, only by the time they come true, we've forgotten them—al! except your elusive wisp of memory." "So I onee dreamed about that mountain?" “Perhaps. It's an Interesting theory even if it can’t be proved. Anyhow, the feeling you have is quite a normal one.” “I don't feel that it is altogether normal, the way I have it.” “You mean it’s beginning to worry you?" “Perhaps sometimes—in a way—yes." He added with a nervous smile: “But that’s no reason why I should worry you. 1 can only plead this one-day-a-year excuse — the purging of the inhibitions, didn't you call it? Let’s talk about something else — cricket — the Test Mateh. . . . Wonder what will happen to England ... ?” “Somehow today that doesn't sound like cricket talk." “I know. After the silence there ■re overtones ... but all I really wanted to prove was that I'm not a complete lunatic.” “Most people have a spot of lunacy in them somewhere. It's excusable.” "Provided they don't inflict it orx strangers." “Why not, if you feel you want to?” ”1 don’t want to—not consciously." “Unconsciously then. Which makes it worst of all. Not that in your case it sounds very serious.” “You don't think so? You don’t think these — er — peculiarities of memory — are —er — anything to worry about?” “Sines you ask me, may I be perfectly frank?” “Os course.” “1 don't know whst your work Is, but isn’t it possible you’ve been overdoing things lately— not enough rest - rmaxation?” “I don’t need a psychoanalyst to tell me that. My doctor does—every time I see him.” “Then why not take his advice?” “TAts is why.” He pulled a small notebook from his vest "pocket “I happen to be In what is vaguely called public life—which means I'm on a sort of treadmill I can't get of until it stops—and it won't stop.” He turned over the pages. "Just to show you—a sample day of my existence. . . . Here, you can read it —it's typed ” He added, as I took the bo<4t: "My secretary — very neat. Sh« wouldn't let me forget anything.” , “But she can't spell ‘archaeolog“Why does she have to?" He snatched ths book back for scrutiny and I had the feeling he was glad of ths excuse to do so and keep it "Calderbury Archaeological and Historical Society? ... Oh, thev*re my constituent*—l have to show them round the House—guidebook stuff—an awful bort... that's this afternoon. Thi* evening 1 have aa Embassy reception; then tomorrow there's a board meeting, a lunch party, and in the evening I'm guest speaker at a dinner in Cambridge.” “Doesn't look a* if there * anything you eould cut except possibly tomorrow’s lunch.” “I expect 111 do that, anyway— < even though it’s at my own house, i There’ll be a crowd of novelists and acton and titled people who'd think tn* surly because I wouldn't talk to i them half a* freely as I'm talking I to you now.” i I could believe It 8o far he had i made no move toward* an exchange I of names between us, and I guessed < that, on his side, the *m»ym:ty had I been not only an encouragement to < talk, but a temptation to reveal hiss- i self alssoet to the point of self-ex- 1 hitation. And there had been a eer- I tain impish exhilaration in the way i he had allowed ase to glance at hm I

Some day — who . knows?—we might run into each ! other again." ’ Spoken as if he sincerely half . meant It, the remark merely cm- ; phasized the other half sense in which he did not mean it at all; and this, because I already iked I him, irked me to the reply: “If it's j . the Swithin's Dinner tomorrow'

night we may aa well introduce ourselves now as then, because I’ll ba there too. My name’s Harrison. I’m on the Reception Committee.” “Oh. really?” “And I don’t know what your plans are, but after the show I’d be delighted if you’d come up to my rooms and have some coffee." “Thanks,” he muttered with sudden glumness, gathering up his newspapers and brief case. Then I suppose he realized it would be pointless, as well as discourteous, to refuse the name which I should inevitably discover so soon. He saved it for a last unsmiling afterthought as he jumped to the platform. “My name's Rainier . . . Charles Rainier.” • so Rainier nodded rather coldly when I met him again the following day. In his evening clothes and with an impressive array of decorations he looked what he was—a guest of honor about to perform his duties with the touch of apathy that so effectively disguises the British technique of authority. Not necessarily an aristocratic technique. 1 had already looked him up in reference books and found that he was . the son of a longish line of manufacturers—no blue blood, no title (1 wondered how he had evaded that), a public school of the second rank, Parliamentary membership for a safe Conservative county. I had also mentioned his name to a few people 1 knew; the general impression was that he was rich and influential. and that 1 was lucky to have made such a chance encounter. He did not, however, belong to the small group of well-known personalities recognizable by the man-in-the-street either in the flesh or in Low cartoons. On the contrary he seemed neither to seek nor to attract the popular sort of publicity, nor yet to repel it so markedly as to get in reverse; it was as if he i deliberately aimed at being nondescript, On the whole I secured a fair i amount of information without 11 much real enlightenment; I hoped 11 for more from a aeeeaff masting and I traveled to Cambridge in a mood | of considerable anticipation. It was i the custom of the secretary and i committee of the Swithia’s Society < io receive guests informally befert < dining in the Coilegp Hall; so we I gathered first in the Combination i Room, where we made introduc- i tionp, drank sherry, aad exchanged small talk. It is really hard to knew what to any to distinguished
