"The Master Spirit" by Sir William Magnay is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book appears to focus on the complex relationship between two main characters, Geoffrey Herriard and Paul Gastineau, as they navigate the treacherous waters of politics, society, and personal ambition in London. The story likely deals with themes of ambition, deception, and the power dynamics inherent in their partnership. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Geoffrey Herriard, who has just delivered a speech in the House of Commons, and is seen interacting with various political figures who flood out after the sitting. The scene is set against the backdrop of London at night, highlighting the bustling political environment. Herriard later visits the reclusive and influential Paul Gastineau, who lies in a state of physical impairment after a train accident that has rendered him unable to walk. Their conversation unveils their mutual ambitions and the clever dynamic between them, as Gastineau mentors Herriard in exchange for Herriard's representation of his ideas in the world, even while being presumed dead. This intriguing premise sets the tone for the unfolding drama and complexities in their lives, hinting at further societal intrigue and personal challenges to come.
