On a day in August, in one of those swiftly-moving years which hurried Europe towards the catastrophe awaiting it, there arrived in London a couple of unusual appearance, striking, charming, and amusing. The man was tall, big, and queerly compounded of sensitive beauty and stodgy awkwardness. He entered London with an air of hostility; sniffed distastefully the smells of the station, peered in distress through the murky light, and clearly by his personality and his exploitation of it in his dress challenged the uniformity of the great city which was his home. His dress was peculiar: an enormous black hat above a shock of wispy fair hair, an ill-cut black coat, a cloak flung back over his shoulders, a very high starched collar, abominable trousers, and long, pointed French boots. 'But they have rebuilt the station!' he said, in a loud voice of almost peevish disapproval. 'I remember reading about it, Carlo, ' replied his companion. 'It fell down and destroyed a theatre.' 'A bad omen, ' said Charles Mann, 'I wish we had arrived at another station.'
