Here, in the midst of their dining and their dancing, was the sure fact that many whom they knew and with whom they had been in the habit of playing might now, at any mo- ment, find death Here was a reality against which there was no argument, and against the harshness of it music screamed and food was uninteresting. During that first month of that war, so new a thing was the horrid grimness of it, that hysteria was abroad, life was two- pence coloured. For everyone now it was the question " Wh...at might they do ? " Something to help, something to ease that biting truth " Your life has been the most utterly useless business no purpose, no strength, no unselfishness from first to last what now ? " Christopher's life had not been useless and he knew it. The reality of it had never been in doubt and death the haphazard surprise of it and the pathos and melodrama and sometimes drab monotony of it had been his companion for many years. Christopher, although he had been a hard worker from his childhood, had always taken life lightly.
