Excerpt from The House of White Shadows: A NovelThe feverish state Of excitement into which Geneva was thrown was not caused by a proclamation Of war, a royal visit, a social revolution, a religious wave, or an avalanche. It was simply that a man was on his trial for murder.There is generally in Geneva a rational if not a philosophic foundation for a social upheaving unlike the people Of most other countries, the population do not care to play a blind game of follow my leader. They prefer to think for them selves, and their leaders must be men of mark.
