The Half-Hearted Book Summary

To say that Mr. John Buchan’s novel, The Half-Hearted, is a “psychological study,” would be to arouse in the breasts of many novel readers a dark, but unfounded suspicion; to describe it as a splendid story of adventure would be paying tribute to but a part of its sterling merit, for it is a book far above the average, out of the common in conception, and very well written.

But I thought the author was an old man.”

“Lewie is not very old,” said his aunt; “but I haven’t seen him for
years, so he may be decrepit by this time. He is coming home soon, he
says, but he never writes. I know two of his friends who pay a Private
Inquiry Office to send them news of him.”

Alice laughed and became silent. What merry haphazard people were these
she had fallen among! At home everything was docketed and ordered.
Meals were immovable feasts, the hour for bed and the hour for rising
were more regular than the sun’s. Her father was full of proverbs on
the virtue of regularity, and was wo
