The leading personalities are Fred, a teacher of Applied Physics, and young girl (Daisy) who wants to be a nurse, and who met casually through an accident one night. Fred's environment is the university where philosophical and physics are the debated topics. Some of the opinions expressed are not always correct. Daisy's approach is, on the other hand, more sombre and difficult. The general approach is good, the narration comes across with a certain amount of English humour and melancholy. The prose is refined , nevertheless, there are some small sensual points.
