Again this year Yale goes into the Field events with a heavy preponderance especially in the Pole Vault and High Jump. The Pole Vault ought to be won by Sabin Carr, Yale's world record pole vaulter. Sturdy of Yale has done close to 13 ft. and should be second. The third place will be divided among Pond of Yale and Clark and Burbank of Harvard. The High Jump will be won by Larsen of Yale with Deacon of Yale and Hollis of Harvard tying for second place. Locke of Harvard should win the Shot Put and the Discus with...
...second place. With these breaks the score could read Harvard 79 2-3 and Yale 55 1-3.

We are introduced to his ten year old daughter Venetia, to Peter Serle, a young man, but already a member of Parliament, and to a uselessly rich Jew. Then we jump to London during the war. Venetia has just come home from school, and Serle, always close to her, is her devoted friend. At a houseparty she meets Saville, a young author, and dislikes him intensely. Six years later, Ysabel, American musical comedy star, enters the book and promptly falls in love...
