Excerpt from Rupert Brett: The Story of a Modern Experiment The sad thing is that none of these beginnings (quite excellent in themselves) will fit in with my story. The tmily history and previous doings of my here are pointless and unnecessary. The scenery method, too, is impossible, for we begin at the corner of a street, and, even though the street is in Milan, we cannot drag in the blue Italian sky, as the day I want you to picture is dull and cloudy.
