There is an important decision to be made. The Cornish Foundation, set up with money left by the late Francis Cornish, art expert, collector, connoisseur, and notable eccentric, must choose a worthy undertaking upon which to expend a portion of its considerable funds. As the Foundation's chairman, Francis's nephew Arthur Cornish (ably assisted by his loving, beguiling wife, Maria Theotoky), believes-and prizing an image as a dashing, daring, imaginative patron of the arts has no small influence on his reasoning-they should select a project worthy of the risk taker whose name the foundation bears.

Canadian fiction.
