Excerpt from The Unforeseen For a full understanding, no brief explanation could be ade quate, because the laws which generally govern human conduct do not apply, and because experiences outside the range of com mon credence are involved. To set out the entire sequence in de tail seemed to us the one way open for the achievement of our pur pose, which is the vindication of our friend. What we are attempting, therefore, is, not to explain, but to show the whole of what happened, with the motives and emo tions that were at work; with the doubts, the questionings and the fears that were conjured up by those dark events.
