Explore "The Dark Hour" by Blanche Colton Williams on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"The Dark Hour" has, in the story sense, no plot. The only action lies in a fragmentary discussion between the sick man, Hallett, and his physician who paces the deck of the homeward bound vessel. The only hint of a struggle lies in the conflicting viewpoints of the two men.
Hallett holds that Germany has a vision -- "a red, bloody, damned vision" -- but a vision. The Allies have, as yet, no vision.
