...last week the handful of peers and black-frocked bishops in the House stared bug-eyed at Lord Rothermere's chair-filled by the porcine bulk of Lord Rothermere himself. That he was there to make his maiden speech was astonishing enough. That the speech was to back up Critic Mottistone of Mottistone, was amusing. Crowning absurdity was the reason for the speech-to shout alarums against Hitlerized Germany...
Major John Gander, richest and most respected citizen of Lammiter. was a crotchety old bachelor but he had his share of relatives. And at his death they all looked forward rather than back. The will was a great shock to all of them: it left the bulk of his estate to the one who should have become the parent of the most legitimate children in a limited time.

Embassy, picked her up, drove on to the Realmchancellery, picked up Best Man Adolf Hitler and drove down a lane of 33,000 uniformed Nazis of both sexes...
...breeder at home in Maysville, Ky. First called to Washington by President Hoover as counsel to the late Farm Board at $25.000 salary, he previously advanced under Democratic rule to the RFC at $12.500.
