"It was the strangest experience of my existence. It seemed suddenly to change me to another type of man." He said it to the Duchess as he sat with her in her private room at Eaton Square. He had told her the whole story of his week at Darreuch and she had listened with an interest at moments almost breathless. "Do you feel that you shall remain the new type of man, or was it only a temporary phase?" she inquired.
