...gives us an again Bright Young Thing going to seed at just the proper rate of speed. The Captain himself, alas, is not so memorable. Terrence Currier has taken over the role; and though he certainly looks a proper Black Pete, his voice gets lost somewhere in his swarthy beard...
...most of Snow's characters. Lewis Eliot, whom Millar has, for some reason, knighted, has become some sort of a passive Eric Portman figure, and no longer imposes any recognizable pattern on the various narrative fragments. Arthur Brown, to take only one other example, has suddenly sprouted a Falstaffian beard and manner: in the book, of course, he is the mildest and most sober of men. In fact, only G. H.

When a pompous friend, expecting him to laugh, took him to an exhibition of Henri Rousseau, Pissarro astonished...
...appropriate for one who is supposed to be incapable of acquiring even a veneer of upper-class manner and speech. But he does not capture enough of Dandin's vanity. The role is modeled on the stock Pantalone of Italian comedy, and Bolton wears Pantalone's traditional long beard and long black cloak...
