I don’t think he yet realises what I have gone through. <em>The Ruin</em> does not appear to have enlightened him, as I hoped it would. He never writes to me now.’</h3> <h3>What do we know of this ‘Jack’, who was so happily and unhappily dominating Eddy’s thoughts in 1924?</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Photograph of Winchester College Officers, 1922—showing J.
