Excerpt from Benoit Castain

The only divergence from strict truth which I have allowed myself has been to change, not only the names of people, but also of places as well. It would be useless to consult a map to find them; they are not to be found.

Excerpt from Benoit Castain

I had never seen Benoit Castain before the present war. Yet we might easily have met, for his father, Monsieur Castain, or the "Widower" as he is called, has been for some years manager of an estate near mine at the point where the departments of Gers, Landes, and Lot et Garonne touch and intermingle. Castain is reputed to be capable and honest, but also somewhat selfish and tyrannical.
