1 - A WEDDING FIASCO
1921
VICTOR HAD REFUSED his bride at the altar! That was the brute fact which agitated the little party in the vestry. No amount of
explanation could mitigate it. As best man I had been in a good position to observe events; and even I, who had formerly been
fairly intimate with Victor, was completely taken by surprise. True, I had long suspected that there was something queer about
him; but up to the very moment of his quietly shattering remark, as he put the ring into his pocket, I had no idea that anything
serious was amiss.
James Victor Cadogan-Smith, later to be known as plain Victor Smith, had seemed the ideal bridegroom. He was the son of a
successful colonial administrator who had climbed by his own ability from a very lowly position, and had recently acquired a
knighthood. The family had been humble "Smiths" until Victor's father had married the only child of a more aristocratic family,
and had agreed to splice his wife's name to his own.
The new "Cadogan-Smith" assured his friends that he had done this mainly to please his father-in-law. But in later life he used to
say, "In those days my snobbery was unconscious."

A Man Divided
His son Victor was born in 1890. He was now a bridegroom of thirty- one, and certainly a catch for any girl. Looking at him in
his wedding clothes, one could not help using the cliché "every inch a gentleman". His financial prospects were excellent. He was
already reputed to be one of the most brilliant young business men of his city, and he was well established as a junior partner in a
great shipping firm. Victor had come through the Great War, as we called it in those days, undamaged and with a Military Cross;
and now, in the brief period of optimism that followed the war, it seemed that he had excellent prospects of working out for
himself a triumphant business career in the phase of post-war recovery. To crown all, he had secured as his bride the charming
daughter of the head of his firm.
The wedding celebrations had been planned in appropriate style. The only factor which was not in perfect harmony with the spirit
of the occasion, I fear, was the best man. I had been greatly flattered by Victor's request that I should fill this office, but I could
not help wondering why he had not asked one of his many more presentable friends. His subsequent behaviour toward me almost
suggested that he regretted his choice. Certainly I did not fit at all into the picture of a smart wedding; and from the moment when
I found that I should have to hire a conventional wedding garment my heart had failed me. Victor must have found me a very
inefficient manager, for he had to re-arrange almost everything that I had undertaken. I knew, of course, that in one of his moods
he had sometimes an almost obsessive passion for correctness, but I had been surprised and exasperated by his meticulous
scrutiny of every detail of our clothing and of the time- table of the honeymoon tour.
At the church, Victor's erect and perfectly tailored figure had seemed the very pattern of orthodoxy; and Edith, I am sure, must
have been admired by the whole congregation as the ideal bride, so "radiant" was she (yes, that is the fatally right word), and so
expensively adorned.
I remember I was rather surprised when the bridegroom suddenly scratched his head, as though in perplexity, and began looking
about him in a frank, inquisitive manner that seemed out of keeping with the occasion. And perhaps it was not quite seemly
suddenly to turn his face full upon the lovely creature at his side; but everyone must have readily forgiven him, since his
expression suggested great tenderness. I remember noticing that his eyelids, normally inclined to droop, so that his face wore the
drowsy look of a lion in captivity, were now fully raised. His blue eyes gazed with a vitality--yes, and a warmth of feeling--which
I had never before seen in them. "Such," I thought, "is the power of love." But the words had scarcely formed themselves in my
mind, when Victor cut into the rector's solemn recitative in a voice that was unusually gentle but also unusually decisive. "Edith,"
he said, "we mustn't go on with this. I've-I've just waked up, and I see quite clearly that I am not the one for you, nor you for me."
For a moment, silence. The bride stared at the bridegroom like a startled hind, then let herself be hurried away on her father's arm.
Victor, protesting his contrition, and offering to explain himself, followed the outraged bridal party into the vestry, with me upon
his heels, and behind me his own distressed father.

A Man Divided
When the door was shut, the bride's father turned on Victor with indignation, spluttering of breach of promise. Her mother
attempted to console her. Edith herself was very properly in tears; but also, through streaming eyes, she stared at Victor with such
an expression of fascinated terror that I looked to see what could have caused it. Certainly it seemed a new Victor that took
charge of this very awkward situation. Except for the fact that he sometimes tugged at his collar and mopped the sweat from his
face, he behaved with complete composure. He looked from one to the other of us all with a curious intensity and exhilaration,
almost as though it was we that had changed, and he must size us up afresh. Presently in a tone of authority that silenced the rest
of us he said, "Listen to me for a minute! I know I can't ever put things right after the mess I have made, but I'll do whatever I
can. Anyhow, I must try to explain. Standing there in these damned silly clothes and listening to the rector, I--well, as I said, I
just woke up from a sort of dream. I saw Edith and me as we really are, me a young snob without a mind, and Edith--well, she's
good to look at, very" (he smiled ruefully at her), "and what's more, underneath all the conventional trappings of her mind there's
something sensitive and honest; yes, and much too good for me, for that drowsy snob. In my dream-life I really did think I was in
love with her, but I wasn't really, even then, and I'm certainly not now." He was watching Edith, and an expression of pain passed
over his face as he said, "God! What a mess! Edith, I know I have hurt you horribly, but I have saved you from something far
worse, from marrying that somnambulant snob."
No one had supposed Victor capable of talking like this. Or no one but myself. To me, though the whole incident had of course
been very surprising, it had not seemed entirely out of keeping with certain events in the past; particularly so, when Victor turned
from Edith to me with a special smile. It was a twisted smile, half quizzical but wholly amiable, which in the old days I had learnt
to regard as revealing the true Victor, but had lately missed. The smile faded into a grave and steady gaze, while he said to the
company, "Harry, here, perhaps knows what I mean, partly." This remark turned the attention of the three parents upon me, and I
could feel them blaming me for Victor's shocking deed. Victor's father looked at his son, then back at me, and the look said as
clearly as words could have done, "My boy, why did you get tangled up with this fellow? He's not one of us. And now, see where
he has led you!" At this point Edith brought the scene to a close by imploring her parents to take her home.
2 - VICTOR'S EARLY LIFE
From 1890 to 1912
THAT SAME AFTERNOON, while I was in my bedroom at the hotel, packing my hired clothes, and wondering how Victor was
dealing with the parents, he came in dressed in an old tweed coat and flannels. He flung himself into the easy chair and said,
"Thank God, oh, thank God, that's over I How wise of me, quite unconsciously wise, to fetch you along to be best man. You were
a sort of touchstone, or the alarm clock that woke me."

A Man Divided
While I was pondering this, and mechanically packing, he changed the subject. "Harry, old man," he said, "don't go home yet,
unless you must. The least I can do after getting you into this mess is to tell you more about myself. It's rather urgent, because I
may go back into my sleep-life at any minute. If you can spare a few hours, let's walk somewhere."
This suggestion itself was surprising, Victor normally despised the humblest form of physical exercise. Tennis, rugger,
swimming, he enjoyed; and in all of them he was competent, in some brilliant. Walking he regarded as a mug's game. It was a
means of transport to be resorted to only when his sports car was off the road.
And now, though the car was available to take us quickly into open country, he asked me, rather sheepishly, if I should mind
going by bus. Sensing my surprise, he added, "You see, the car means the other life, the sleep-walker's life, and so it--well, it
gives me the creeps."
How I remember that bus journey of nearly thirty years ago! The bus was crowded, and we had to stand. The solid tyres chattered
our teeth together like dice in a box. When the conductor came for our fares, Victor surprised me by muddling the transaction.
The conductor, with unspoken contempt, handed back the superfluous coins. Victor looked at them, not with the shame of the
business man who had fallen short of the sacred virtue of business efficiency, but with a laugh which seemed to express relief at
his own carelessness. He then became entirely absorbed in watching our fellow passengers, with the same wide-eyed fascination
as he had displayed in the vestry. He stared so hard and so unselfconsciously that people began to grow restive and resentful. He
was particularly attentive to a comfortable body with an amiable face, who finally remarked with an attempt at severity, "Young
man, control your eyes!" Suddenly realizing that he was not behaving correctly, Victor chuckled and said in a breezy voice,
"Sorry I You mustn't mind me. I've been--well I've been asleep for several months, and it's so exciting to see people again; real
people, and not just dreams." A florid man, who evidently considered himself a wag, remarked, "They've let you out too soon,
lad. If I were you I'd take the next bus back." There was a general titter. Victor grinned; then winked, as he nudged me and said,
"It's all right. My keeper's with me."
At the terminus we set out along a suburban street that presently became more like a country road. Then came a path through
woods and fields. At last Victor began to tell me the strange facts about himself which threw light not only on his conduct at the
church but also on my earlier relations with him. But while part of his mind was occupied with recounting his biography, another
part seemed to be intensely concentrated in his senses. With alert eyes he looked about him at the scenery. Sometimes he would
stop to examine a leaf or a beetle as though he had never seen such a thing before, or pause at a stile to run his fingers curiously,
lovingly, along the grain of the wood, or dabble his hand in a stream with childish delight, or sniff the complicated fragrance of a
handful of earth. Once, when a woodpecker called, he stood still to listen. "What's that bird?" he asked. "What a lot I miss in my
sleep-life!"

A Man Divided
All this was notable enough in itself, but far more so to anyone who knew Victor's customary indifference to all, such
commonplace experiences. Normally his interest was almost wholly limited to motors, sport, business, feminine charm, and the
stability of society. His only other subject was human character, which he judged with a quick eye for a man's less reputable
motives, and no eye at all for his personality as a whole. This, at least, was the case with Victor in his normal mood; but if this
had been the whole Victor, I should never have grown to admire him.
I shall report as much as I can reconstruct of our memorable conversation on that walk, but probably I shall fail to convey my
vivid impression of Victor's quickened vitality and intelligence, or the sense of his anxiety to make full use of his brief spell of
lucidity while it lasted. However, I shall not miss any important facts, for I subsequently persuaded him to help me to write fairly
full notes about all that he told me.
"Well," he said, plunging at the root of the matter, "I am apparently some sort of divided personality, but a queer sort; and up to
today I have never said a word about it to anyone. My first waking up, so far as I know, was at my prep school. It was only a half-
waking, and it lasted only for a minute or I so, but it was something startlingly new to me. I had been, charged with circulating
smutty drawings, and really I hadn't even seen the things. The Head lectured me on smut and on lying, and then whacked me. The
whacking stung me into life, or stung me awake. After about the third stroke the pain suddenly became much more violent than it
had been, and I began to yell, having been the proper little silent Englishman up to that point. I bolted for the door, but the Head
caught me. For a moment we faced one another, he with a horrible look that I couldn't understand at the time, but it seemed all
wrong. It reminded me of our dog when I found him guzzling a beefsteak in the larder, growling hideously while he went on
gulping the stuff down. I was so startled by the Head's new face that I let out a throat-breaking scream, and tried to bash him on
the nose. You see, faces had been just masks before that waking, and now here was one that turned into a window with a soul
looking out of it, and a soul (I vaguely felt) in a very terrible state. I remember quite distinctly feeling all in a flash that God
almighty had turned out to be just a filthy monster. I yelled out 'Beast! Why do you like hurting me?' Then I think I must have
fainted, for I can't remember anything more. Needless to say, I was expelled."
Victor fell silent, contemplating the past with his twisted smile. When I asked him whether the waking came often after that
incident, he remained silent. We were now leaning over the rail of a footbridge above a stream, and Victor was all the while
intently watching several fishes that were dimly visible in the dark water.
"My mind," he suddenly said, "is like this stream. When I am my real self it's clear right to the bottom, with all sorts of live things
moving about at different levels. When I am that I thick-headed snob, the water is muddy. Awake, I can look down into my mind
and see every little minnow of a desire, every little sprat of a thought, busily nosing about, feeding and growing, or fading into
old age, or being hunted down and swallowed up by stronger creatures. Yes, and when I am fully awake, I can not only see them
but control them, tame them, order them, all to do as I will, make them dance to my tune; 'I' being always a something outside the

A Man Divided
water, or floating on its surface. The image breaks down, but perhaps you see what I mean. In the dream-life I am the sport of
those creatures (or at least of some of them) that come nosing up through the opaque water, pushing me hither and thither with
the swirl of their lashing tails, and sometimes threatening to swallow me, my real self. In fact, they do sometimes completely
swallow my real self. Over and over again I have simply been completely identified with one or other of those brutes. Do you see
what I mean?"
"Partly," I said; and again I asked if the waking state happened often.
"Not often, but more frequently as time goes on. And it tends to last longer, and also to be more thorough." He sighed, and said,
"Perhaps some day I shall be permanently awake. But I hardly dare hope for that. For the present, full waking comes seldom, and
never lasts long, just long enough to get me into the most distressing scrapes, and then, let the wretched dreamer suffer for it.
Once, when I was about seventeen, I woke when I was persecuting some miserable fag. I was taking a high moral line with him
over some very small crime of his, and leading sadistically up to a thrashing. Suddenly I saw the kid as a live human person, and
at the same time I caught a terrifying glimpse of myself as the cad I was. I saw as clear as daylight what was happening in my
own mind. The affair with the Head of my prep. school had roused an ugly monster from some dark cranny at the bottom of the
river, and this creature had been ranging about ever since, devouring a lot of harmless small-fry, and growing fat and strong,
unseen under the muddy water. The sudden waking seemed to be due to the commotion caused by this brute even on the surface
of my mind. The danger woke me, and in a flash I saw right down into the depths. I can remember the unendurable shame of
waking to find myself behaving so disgustingly. I forget exactly what happened in consequence. But I can remember being so
upset that I said, 'Gosh I How you must hate me, Johnson minor, and quite right too!' Then I actually wrote a note telling him if
ever he saw me being a cad again he must remind me how, when I did it before, I woke up and was sorry. I signed the thing and
gave it him. Naturally the kid was bewildered by my sudden change, and frightened, I think. But he took the note: Well, a few
days later he had an excellent opportunity of using it, and he did use it. In my somnolent, doltish phase, I couldn't remember a
thing about the earlier, awake phase. When he showed me the note I had written and signed, I was confident it was a forgery. Of
course I was furious. And of course I regarded his behaviour as insufferable cheek. With great gusto I whacked him. Naturally
this incident was soon known to the whole school. I used to be frightfully popular, being good at games and correct about school
etiquette. But this affair broke my popularity completely. Everyone despised and distrusted me. And as popularity was my ruling
passion (though I didn't know it), I went through agonies trying to restore my position. Sometimes I half succeeded. But always,
just when everything seemed going well, I would wake up for a few minutes and do something outrageous, so that the fat was in
the fire all over again."
Victor fell silent, gazing down into the stream, with folded arms on the rail of the bridge. Suddenly he stood upright, with a laugh
that was also a sigh, stretching himself as though in relief after some kind of bondage. We moved along the path. "Tell me," I
said, "when you say you saw the kid as a live human person, what do you really mean? Telepathy?"

A Man Divided
"No, no I Perhaps telepathy may have something to do with it sometimes, but mainly it's just a heightening of imaginative insight.
The other person's tone of voice and facial expression, the whole smell of him, so to speak, suddenly flash a meaning at me.
Johnson minor suddenly became a vivid picture of a desperately perplexed and frightened little person. And also I saw myself
with the same imaginative penetration. I saw myself as he saw me, and indeed very much more clearly than he could possibly
have seen me."
"You see," he said, looking round at me with an open smile which was impossible to the normal Victor, "it's not only other
people that come clear, and not only my own mind, but everything. To pursue the metaphor, not only the stream turns limpid, but
the banks, the fields, the people in them, the sky, the whole universe become--yes, limpid. I see into everything, in a sense. Not,
of course, spatially, like X- rays. Not mystically either, seeing God in them, or what not. Rather, instead of being just coloured
shapes, they become bewilderingly pregnant symbols; pregnant with whatever was relevant to them in my past experience. That's
it! The wretched Johnson minor's puckered brows and quivering lip suddenly flooded me with all my forgotten experience of
such things, and with anew, shattering insight into their meaning in terms of the mental suffering of Johnson himself, there and
then."
I think it was at this point that Victor bent down to watch a violent drama that had staged itself in a cobweb strung between the
tall grasses beside our path. But he did not stop talking. "Sometimes," he said, "I seem able to trace the waking to some event
outside myself. It's the impact of experience that shakes me into life--Johnson minor's struggle not to blub, or the conjunction of
you and Edith and the marriage service. The sight of this spider preparing its dinner might do the trick, if ever my sleep-walking
self could stoop to notice such things. God I what a spectacle it is, isn't it!" He jerked out an almost frightened laugh. "See how
he's tying up the wretched fly like a struggling parcel! Over and over the string goes, and tighter and tighter. And the poor devil
goes on buzzing, steadily as a machine. Ha! There's one of his wings roped now. And he's getting tired. It's like catching a lion in
a net in the Sahara, or one of those gladiatorial duels with net and sword. Now the whole string bag is finished, and next comes
the feasting."
Another question occurred to me. "When you slipped back into the dream-life after the Johnson minor incident, you had no idea
(as you said) of what had happened in the wide-awake state. Then, is the waking state also vague about the events of the
dreaming state. For instance, have you now forgotten what happened before you 'woke' in the church this morning?"
"No, no!" He laughed rather bitterly. "In the wide-awake life I remember the sleep-walker life with most distressing clarity, and
often in far more detail than the somnambulist could notice when things were actually happening. I remember it all not only more
clearly but in a new light, from a new angle. For instance, I remember damning you brutally yesterday because you had booked
us several three-star hotels instead of the four-star ones I had demanded for the honeymoon tour. And I remember, too, what I did

A Man Divided
not notice at the time, namely that your look of contrition had also a tinge of disgust and contempt about it. Now, of course, my
outburst fills me with unutterable shame. At least it does, and it doesn't; because when I look harder at the memory it doesn't
really seem mine at all, not something I did, but something that stupid snob did, who shares my body. Then again, I remember
saying 'good-night' to Edith on the evening before the wedding. The greedy-respectful kiss, and the soapy remarks! Now, it
makes me shudder, both for myself and for her. I wonder just how much damage that fool somnambulist has done to her. What I
did to her, breaking off the match, was just the pain of a necessary operation. It had to be. (But, oh, I hope she gets through with it
quickly.) What he did was to keep on for months poisoning her with his insincerity and false values. Yes! The memory of last
night's 'goodnight' makes me go hot all over. Then, I (if I must say 'I' and not 'he') thought of myself as the romantic lover,
worshipping the beloved as a being of superior calibre, almost divine; and ready to live for her all the rest of my life. But looking
back, I see precisely what was happening in my mind, and it's not at all edifying. Of course there was plenty of good healthy
physical lust for Edith's extremely seductive body; but it was presented to the somnambulist not as lust at all but as the physical
consequence of my adoration of her pure spirit. Now, it makes me squirm. And what sort of a pure Spirit has she, poor girl? No
doubt, deep down inside her there's a little smothered germ of honesty and generosity, the true and pure Edith. But it hardly ever
manages to express itself, because of the loads of false conventions and false values overlying it. And while I was protesting my
selfless devotion to her as a person, what I was actually thinking (though I didn't notice it) was that she was an excellent match
for me, well trained in all the antics of our sort of people, perhaps rather 'better class' than myself, thoroughly presentable,
something to show off with complacency. But far from worshipping her, I felt that I was definitely better stuff in away, and that
she was really only raw material for me to work up into a first-class partner. Sometimes, for instance, she had shown a tendency
to think for herself. That sort of thing mustn't be allowed. Her function was to be the adoring and helpful wife."
He paused, then concluded, "So you see my wide-awake self does very clearly remember the experiences of the other. If it didn't
it wouldn't have any background at all. It would be merely an infant mind. The actual sum of its existence has been far shorter
than the other's."
"Do you mean it's never active for more than a few minutes or hours?"
"Sometimes days, even weeks; and it's spells grow longer as I grow older. For the present, at any rate. But I can't help fearing that
the general stiffening thatt sets in in middle age will reverse the process. Now let me get back to my story. My first really
important spell of wide-awake living was brought on by you, in our third year at Oxford, when we first got to know each other."
"Now," I interrupted, "I understand why you were so inconsequent; first stand-offish, then friendly, then cold again."
"It began," he said, "after that bump supper, when some of us, all a bit tight, invaded your room. Instead of taking it lying down,
you had the cheek to make a fuss, so we began chucking things out of the window into the quad. You actually put up a fight,

which was surprising and amusing, because we had always regarded you as a worm. You had come from some bloody little
unheard-of grammar school, and you had an accent like the mud on a provincial street. We weren't going to stand cheek from that
sort. No doubt you remember, when you were being I held down, I stared at you as offensively as I could, and said you reminded
me of my hosier. It was then that I came awake. It was your pinched little face that did it. Instead of seeing you as just a type, and
a despised type, I suddenly saw you, as I had seen Johnson minor. Somehow I saw you being torn between contempt for us all
and irrational envy and self-abasement. And I saw how horribly hurt you were, not simply by our brutality but by your own
involuntary treason to yourself."
Interrupting Victor, I said, "I can distinctly remember how your face suddenly changed. Your eyes opened wide with surprise,
and your mouth too. Then you turned away with an odd, awkward little laugh. You picked up a book, and sat on the arm of the
easy chair, apparently reading."
"Yes, but really I was just feeling mortally ashamed."
"Then suddenly you shut the book, gently, and laid it on the table, and said something about this being pretty caddish, really, and
what about stopping it. Then there was an argument, but finally your gang took itself off; and you--it struck me as odd at the time-
stayed behind to help me clear up the mess. Remember? First I tried to push you off with the others, and then when you began to
go, meek as a lamb, I suddenly changed my mind. What a grind it was, wasn't it, fetching the damaged books and furniture from
the quad up the staircase to the top floor."
"Yes, and when we had finished, you offered me cocoa! Cocoa! My God! To me, who considered myself one of the bloods! But I
had the sense to accept, for I was thoroughly awake by then. And it was a damned good drink, too. And we sat there talking till
the small hours, till you nearly fell asleep. Then I borrowed your Bateson's Heredity and took it off to my own room. By
breakfast time I had just about finished it. That first talk we had was an eye-opener to me. Do you remember how we leapt about
from heredity to socialism, religion, astronomy, like a couple of monkeys swinging from branch to branch. Monkeying with the
universe! You had the advantage of far greater knowledge, and I had an absolutely fresh, innocent zest."
"And a diabolical quick-wittedness," I added, "an intelligence that frightened me."
