I will leave the ramifications of this statement to any sociologist who may be interested, only recommending that he research Patate because its whole ambience is so unmistakably French.

Ferdinand goes to London, where he makes a beeline for the French "colony" on the river ("That's what they call the Thames"). In a dockside pub he teams up with Boro, a sleazy French pianist "who was in the habit of wearing plum derbies...
