The author provides answers to the following questions: ``As Einstein sped towards his general theory of relativity in the period 1907-1915 did he reassess his original, hasty, judgement of 1907 regarding the inadequacy of Lorentz-covariant gravitation theories? In particular, what of the most naturally suggested Lorentz-covariant gravitation theory, one in which the gravitational field was represented by a scalar field and the differential operators of the Newtonian theory were replaced by their Lorentz-covariant counterparts? Where does this theory lead? Did the Einstein of the early 1910s have good reason to expect that developing this theory would lead outside special relativity?''.
