...Bath Cubes by Guerlain. But the critics sound as if they might be kinder to Bond's non-U. penchant for drop-kicking the men and devil-dealing the ladies if he were not such a dandy among the consumer goods, a slave to "crude snob-cravings." The monocle glitters over the private-eyeful afforded by Agent Bond. He smokes Macedonian cigarettes marked with three gold rings. He drinks Dom Perignon champagne, drives a Bentley. At Blades, a posh St. James's Street club that he frequents, "no newspaper comes to the reading room before it has been...
...another hall. The Y. was up in 1869, down (through the Great Fire) in '71. up once again in '74.

It's as if every room were either a kitchen, a bath, or a boiler room. It is not something you can design by remote control." Stone moved his main office to Palo Alto, taking Maria along. Two weeks later, as Stone puts it, their firstborn, Benjamin Hicks III, joined them...
...seem possible in one man. Samples: Milton's L'Allegro is not much of a poem-Robert Frost has written better; Saint Paul was dishonest with money; Jesus did not die on the Cross but may or may not have turned up in Rome in A.D. 49; bath water in Australia "goes widdershins [contrariwise] down the waste-pipe"; the "concept of the supernatural is a disease of religion," although, paradoxically, Graves-who claims to have risen from the near dead after being officially listed as "Died of Wounds"-has no difficulty in believing in the miraculous...
