James, Henry: The Sacred Fount, v.1, 4 December 2008.

The Sacred Fount (1901)
By Henry James (1843–1916)

From Wikipedia:
“The Sacred Fount is a novel by Henry James, first published in 1901. This strange, often baffling book concerns an unnamed narrator who attempts to discover the truth about the love lives of his fellow-guests at a weekend party in the English countryside. He spurns the "detective and keyhole" methods as ignoble, and instead tries to decipher these relationships purely from the behavior and appearance of each guest. He expends huge resources of energy and ingenuity on his theories, much to the bemusement of some people at the party.”

The narrator begins to theorize that two of the party are getting their vitality, vampire-like, from the "sacred fount" of their sexual partners' energy. But perhaps they have other, younger lovers? Or perhaps the narrator is an elaborate fantasist? Or do we all construct our reality from small – possibly inaccurate- clues?
