At the centre of the book is Cormus Bassington, 'the beautiful wayward laughing boy, with his naughtiness, his exasperating selfishness, his insurmountable folly and perverseness, his cruelty that spared not even himself', in whom Saki invested his own ambiguous feelings for youth and his fierce indignation at the ravages of time.
