But to the majority of Englishmen, the jewel seemed to be becoming as jinxed as the Hope diamond. Its loss seemed a small price to pay for peace in Cyprus, for the saving of lives of British Tommies, for the renewal of Britain's traditional friendship with Greece and the re-establishment of NATO unity...

But the Masai, water cascading off their lion skins, trudged happily homewards, more...
...strength to break through the opposition of the Curia. One must not forget that these cardinals in their ivory Vatican tower have never seen Protestants, and feel no need for contacts with something that to them does not exist.
