...Arts ld, yesterday morning, is another ideal. The thirty slides worn a cluch no work at all. Long ago the Vagabond learned these, when he first used to go to Fine Arts lectures. Now he has them all in his heart. He will remember them; but he will never forget to try the tests, just to make sure he isn't getting rusty. But the final morsel, which he is waiting for, comes in the Music 4 exam, next week. A few little pieces will be played, then disappear into silence. Who might have written them? What musical form...
Second move was to hold a series of lengthy secret conferences in Paris, send the Marques de Tena hotfoot off to Madrid to beg the various Royalist groups in Spain to forget their differences for the time being and present a united front in the forthcoming June elections under that weepy eyed, white whiskered old gentleman, Jose Sanchez Guerra, Prime Minister shortly before the Dictatorship of Primo de Rivera...
Long years ago in London he saw Pinafore with Gilbert in the lead while Sullivan waved an imperious baton over the harrassed base drummer. When Gilbert sang "The Captain of the Pinafore" old men wept, gay youth cheered, and sad matrons forget how poorly the dinner had gone off.

Church & Land. Spain is a Roman Catholic country. Critics of the Inquisition are apt to forget that it was supremely successful in its primary object: the wiping out of heresy, Protestantism. There are a few Protestant churches in Spain and liberty of worship is permitted all sects. But 99% of the people owe spiritual allegiance to Rome. Royal Spain was the only country that still paid state tribute to the Roman Catholic Church: between 5000,000 and 60,000,000 gold pesetas a year (about $12,000,000). The Church owns property of incalculable value, priests exert tremendous influence...
...tomorrow is to speak on Paris in Emerson F. It is not a lecture on the Paris of today; the Cafe de la Paix, Auteuil and the Davis Cup, but on the Paris of Haussmann, Du Maurier and other indistinct and glorious figures. The Vagabond will go, therefore, and forget Divisionals, Finals, and vacation before the wonders of a house where Trilby once had lived, or a bridge where D'Artagnan once had fought...
