Inhalt:
An Anglican bishop, on his way back to England from his African diocese, pauses at the island of Nepenthe: an island which 'gleamed with golden rocks and emerald patches of culture.' Warmed by the sun, welcomed by its inhabitants ans lulled by its mediterranean beauty, the bishop relaxes. Within a few weeks the liberating effects of southern temperament and temperature have so worked on anglo-Saxon puritanism that even the gravest sin of all - murder - is permissible.
