Though he looked like a choirboy, he argued like a Bolshevik, dressed like a bum, drank like a culvert, smoked like an ad for cancer, bragged that he was addicted to onanism and had committed an indecency with a member of Parliament.

They were 50 miles from the nearest town, and the temperature was 124°. With something like a genius for self-preservation, the Scotts drank the water from their car radiator, cut up blankets to make an S O S sign, dipped a tire in engine oil to serve as a signal fire, dismounted the car mirror to flash distress signals at passing planes, set out their hubcaps to catch the morning dew.
