THE CITY OF THE APES
It was a quiet, peaceful city.
It was a city ruled by apes and served by men.

There his chance meeting with the young and beautiful, but married, Mrs Renee Burton, precipitated the first crisis in his life. Hitherto he had been sure of himself temperamentally and emotionally: the 1914-18 war over, he had concentrated on his love of rugby, eventually being 'capped' for England, and he knew that one day, when too old to play, he would enter the family wine business. Until that far off day, life should have been carefree. But Renee was to change his plans radically.
