...helped us fit in much quicker." On Fielding's recommendation, Mrs. Mills shopped at Liberty's for a tweed suit, at Marks & Spencer for sweaters and lingerie, at Harrods for a 220-volt adapter for their traveling steam iron?"He says you can get anything at Harrods." They ate dinner at the Elizabethan Room of the Gore Hotel ("The zaniest meal in London," promises Fielding, with "waitresses who may be pinched at will"). They found it "excellent, and just as he said. A one-time experience. We agreed with him that you wouldn't want to return every...
...their demand for moral reparations for evil deeds of the past, infest the modern theater. If one were really to believe Hochhuth (The Deputy), Weiss (The Investigation) and Arthur Miller (Incident at Vichy), one would conclude that the playgoer is responsible for every human crime and flaw since Adam ate the apple.

...Life? with an earnest lyric gift. At times he captures the bubble-like transiency of youth with touching Gallic elan ("Who wrote 'I love you' on a cigarette paper and then smoked it? Who picked a flower and put it in a glass of water? Who ate a vanilla ice on September 14, 1966, at twenty-five minutes to midnight, thinking that it was an eternal ice-cream cone, an eternal ice, an eternal yellow-white flavour?"). He is also adept at playing those "In" games French readers love, the sounding of literary resonances from Pascal to Robbe...
