It is the dream of Soviet Russians that their statesmen may become the successors to the great kindlers of Asia: Alexander, Jenghiz Khan, his grandson Kublai Khan and Tamburlaine...
...imagining in his afterglow that he had slain Boris. Rennie's afterglow was somewhat marred by the bath to which she was subjected her first day out of confinement. And the changed attitude of the others, back to their normal indulgence towards a dowdy little bitch, cast a dream-like veil over the whole episode. Not until May, when her kennel rolled with black puppy-shapes, was she sure that she had really heard the Dark Gentleman's lyric blandishments. Author Stern, social chronicler, (The Matriarch, A Deputy Was King, Thunderstorm), now deserves a niche no whit below...
