Several months later, Marston ordered two manuscripts from a London dealer, one of which was a modestly priced portion of the Speculum Historiale (Mirror of History) compiled by Vincent of Beauvais, the famed encyclopedist of the Middle Ages. When the Speculum manuscript arrived, it was in such an attractive 15th century binding that Dealer Witten asked to examine it. That night Witten telephoned Marston in great excitement.

Last week's three chapters, for instance, interwove the multiple subplots without even a glimmer of psychic peace or a fleeting, joyous guffaw. Dr. Vincent Markham, back home after winning "international renown as the Albert Schweitzer of the Andes," was, it turned out, on the brink of divorce because he could not relate to women, and on the road to suicide because of sibling rivalry with a twin brother.
