Back from a 32,000-mile, six-week swing through the farthest reaches of the Commonwealth, Harold Macmillan felt a "sense of exhilaration and renewed faith" in the strength of Britain's empire ties. The Commonwealth had seen an unexpectedly relaxed and genial Macmillan. Fresh from a rousing reception in India, he landed at Karachi in Pakistan (in a Britannia turboprop airliner nicknamed "The Flying No. 10") to be greeted by cheering thousands, detoured 700 miles north to the North-West Frontier mountains never before visited by a British Prime Minister...

...passionately wants to accept his vocation, but the devil presents himself in female form-specifically in the guise of a steamy 35-year-old woman, a friend of the family but no friend to chastity. In relatively few lines, Soldati carpenters a cross for his hero. Should he have faith in his passion or give up his passion for the faith? Neither his mother, plagued by desires of her own, his pious grandmother, his innocent playmates, nor his latently homosexual confessor can answer that question for Clemente...
