Excerpt from The Kingdom Round the Corner: A Novel

It had been dawn when he had started. From the top of the hill above the camp he had gazed back at the huddled, sleeping rows of hutments. How lacking in individuality they were! How wilfully ugly! You could see their like in the rear of all armies. The military mind seemed incapable of appreciating differences and beauty. How stereo typed the past five years had been; yes, and, while the danger had threatened, how ennobled with duty! SO ennobled that there had been times when it had almost seemed that he was on the point of finding his kingdom.

What he hadn't expected was that he would be alive today. With that thought gratitude had bubbled up and he had limped away, whistling, through dim lanes and budding hedgerows to the lit tle wayside country station.
