Mr. E.F. Benson's new book UP AND DOWN is not wholly a work of fiction. For want of evidence, we must take as fiction the parts that concern the author's friend Francis, who lived in an island at the mouth of the Bay of Naples; deemed himself an Italian not an Englishman, a thinker not a doer; and then, when the war broke out, came post-haste "home" to the England where he belonged, enlisted as a private soldier, served in France and in Italy, won the Victoria Cross, and died in his Italian home of cancer. Matilda, the parrot, must be fictitious also, because, unlike most parrots in life or in parrot stories, she is too funny to be true. And the spiritualistic medium, who after Francis's death did positively seem to get into communication with him, maybe fictitious.
