Crome Yellow by renowned author Aldous Huxley is about the house party at Crome viewed largely through the eyes of Denis Stone. Described by his hostess as "one of our younger poets", he has been invited by Priscilla and Henry Wimbush to join their summer guests. The hard-of-hearing Jenny Mullion confines most of her thoughts on what goes on in her journal, in which Denis eventually discovers a devastating deconstruction of himself and fellow guests. Excerpt: "Along this particular stretch of line no express had ever passed. All the trains—the few that there were—stopped at all the stations. Denis knew the names of those stations by heart. Bole, Tritton, Spavin Delawarr, Knipswich for Timpany, West Bowlby, and, finally, Camlet-on-the-Water. Camlet was where he always got out, leaving the train to creep indolently onward, goodness only knew whither, into the green heart of England."
