...Queen Mary had strolled off to a booth where "Nosey Parkers" were for sale. When an attendant donned one of those clever rubber masks and blew up the nose to a grotesque, bulbous protuberance, Her Majesty reached for her purse.

At this there was a soft hoot of derisive laughter. Girls nudged each other, men smirked and snickered. . . .

The instrument was beautifully made; it had cost $70, although a cheaper one could have been procured; it contained, completely hidden, a tone chamber made...
