Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Man and His Soul: An Occult Romance of Washington Life
But, I had not been long in Washington, upon the occasion of my last visit, before I met Captain Arthur Harcourt, and after that I did not have a dull moment. He gave a shake to the hour-glass of time for me, and the sands, which had been creeping along at so slow a pace, now moved with the swiftest possible motion. We measure time by our endurance or enjoyment of it. Measured by my new sensations, a day soon 'counted as nothing.
Pardon my extravagance. I will try and make it plain why Captain Harcourt proved so interesting to a correspondent, who had now reached middle life and who had seen the most notable events of modern history in the last quarter of the century, both in the old world as well as the new.
