Title: The Good Soldier
First published: 1965
Description: This is the saddest story I have ever heard. We had known the Ashburnhams  for nine seasons of the town of Nauheim with an extreme intimacy - or, rather  with an acquaintanceship as loose and easy and yet as close as a good  glove's with your hand. My wife and I knew Captain and Mrs Ashburnham as  well as it was possible to know anybody, and yet, in another sense, we knew nothing at all about them.
