...green glass. He has suffered from the "weariness the fever, and the fret. Here, where men sit and hear each other groan." He has sought comradeship in vain. The Jester has been in seclusion, incubating puns on the Shanghai situation. George Bernard Shaw has climbed off the apple cart to mount the band-wagon of reform (thereby adding another name to the firm of Wells, Russell, and Mencken, Ltd., Odd-jobbers Specializing in the Repair of Democracy, Sex, The Facts of History, and God.)
