...books are to be found not merely the personal details of a man nor an account of his life and his life's work, but the detailed history of Liberalism from about the middle of the 19th Century until 1908.

...golf club wondered what those two old bores, Wilfred Heber and Carrington Bird ever saw in each other. They were always quarreling ?and always inseparable. Then the page turns back and we see them from boyhood on?friends in youth?then separated?then casually coming together again?the interwoven skeins of the two lives from youth to age. Oddities of temperament, accidents, wives interrupted the friendship?no theatrical Damon-and-Pythias sacrifices fell to the lot of either, exactly? but the friendship endured. Why, precisely ? Neither could have defined all the reasons for it. Neither tried...
