...person than His Majesty the King had sent for the Polish Ambassador and impressed upon him the importance of purchasing whatever he wanted from an English firm."

...words as these: "At three in the morning you are apt to come upon strange specimens of life, men made frightening by capitalism. They appear to be monsters, and merely to be in their presence horrifies; yet they speak English, they were born of women, they have names, they belong to the family of man. It is possible to speak to them. The one with whom I spoke was thirty-five. He said his name was Jones. He said he walked at night and rested during the day, standing up.
