The best scenes Of Bachelor

The actual dinner party, with

the one in which the exhausted,

in seldom-relieved boredom,

This Is done in a chapter lurid-

all on the side Of the Arabs.
The hatreds stirred up be-

due to Jewish barbarity es-

The author is a former re-

nothing is good about them.

protests. And when 1t seems
that the Unsuitable diety Of

Psyche be sacrificed to the

someone else's dreams; that
true love is disintetested; ra-
