The citizens of Babbington think that Peter Leroy is a daring aviator, maybe even the nation's most daring aviator - at least in the teenage division - but the limelight and adulation are changing him, and not for the better. He's in danger of becoming an arrogant, insufferable little egoist. Then something happens that saves him. He falls in love with Albertine Gaudet. Almost at once, almost "at first sight," he realizes that Albertine would make a far better center for his life than he would himself. That is the end of egoism - and the start of one of literature's great romances. Length: novella, about 20,000 words
