Bolshevism was mentioned. "It was like hitting Hitler with a torpedo. He assumed the platform manner on a small scale, the toss of the head, the laugh of scorn, the sweep of the hand.

Virginia Woolf's husband Leonard recalled that he was planting irises under an apple tree. "Suddenly I heard Virginia's voice calling to me from the sitting-room window: 'Hitler is making a speech.' I shouted back: 'I shan't come. I'm planting iris, and they will be flowering long after...
