First line:
One December afternon some years ago a young man of pensive and unshaven countenance, without a hat, wearing khaki breeches and puttees, with a coat made out of an Army blanket of fine tweed material which had been scrounged from his infantry battalion just before demobilisation, and carrying on his back a schrapnel-torn infantry pack, might have been seen perambulatiing down Picadilly towards the west.
