...interminable marble stairs. With its walls of red & gold, its enormous twinkling crystal chandeliers and its delicate and beautiful antique furniture, it resembles nothing so much as the boudoir of a Royal courtesan. In this setting last week heavy Radical Socialist Finance Minister Vincent Auriol, whose right eye droops half shut behind his tortoise-shell glasses, received correspondents in the dead of night. He had left President Lebrun and Premier Blum soon after midnight and at that hour said "Goodnight" over the transatlantic phone to Mr. Morgenthau for whom the time in Washington was nearer 7 p. m.

...from the start, and no misunderstandings. I'm no Captain Bligh. But I'm no harbour loafer either. I'm a man who's sailed the North Sea in 50 storms. . . .
