Description
Excerpt from The Seeds of Enchantment: Being Some Attempt to Narrate the Curious Discoveries of Doctor Cyprian Beamish, M. D., Glasgow; Commandant Rene De Gys, Annamite Army, and the Honourable Richard Assheton Smith, in the Golden Land of Indo-China
All night, sleepless, I visioned that drop - curtain and the strange histories which must have gone to the inspiring of it; and all next week, as the foul cargo-boat on which I had taken passage crawled weary way round indo-china to Saigon, I meditated a shapeless tale; and at Saigon''s self the tale be gan to take form. For it was there that I first met him whom I have called René de Gys and heard from his bearded lips the legend of the white women beyond the mountains.
