The World Peril of 1910

The World Peril of 1910 is a story by George Griffith. Griffith was a British science fiction writer and noted explorer. Excerpt: «THE scene had shifted back from the royal city of Potsdam to the little coast town in Connemara. John Castellan was sitting on a corner of his big writing-table swinging his legs to and fro, and looking a little uncomfortable. Leaning against the wall opposite the windows, with her hands folded behind her back, was a girl of about nineteen, an almost perfect incarnation of the Irish girl at her best. Tall, black-haired, black-browed, grey-eyed, perfectly-shaped, and with that indescribable charm of feature which neither the pen nor the camera can do justice to–Norah Castellan was facing him, her eyes gleaming and almost black with anger, and her whole body instinct with intense vitality.»
