...Chelsea figurines, old Crown Derby dinner services, Georgian silver, Oriental table screens, crystal candelabra, needlepoint armchairs, Elizabethan joint-stools, satinwood bedsteads, Jacobean armchairs, cut-glass fingerbowls, Flemish oak chests, potted palms, tooled leather wastebaskets and bronze andirons, they saw enough to stock all the dealers in Manhattan. Of the great art which legend maintained was "Inisfada's" glory, they saw little. Artistically respectable by most current standards was the garden-sculpture of Malvina Hoffman, auctioned off in situ among the rose bushes. For the rest, it appeared that the Bradys, in their assiduous years of collecting, had amassed...
...itself holds a notable collection of things worth seeing. The most attractive building is the Massachusetts Hall, built in 1720. Various alterations and improvements and the destruction of the roof by fire in 1924, have done much to take away the original charm of a building in a modified Jacobean style (something like a simplified version of St. Catharine's), but something is left worth looking at. Otherwise the Harvard buildings are almost uniformly inconspicuous and undistinguished, with a few lapses into pomposity, mostly neo-neo-classic, and one real screamer which at first escapes my attention and which...

...respectful description of the royal train. Said the Mail: "Not even Hollywood stars or Argentine millionaires own more luxurious railroad saloons. The King's smoking compartment [is fitted] with apple green leather and fiddleback mahogany, while the Queen's boudoir saloon has paler green silk upholstery and Jacobean oak furniture. Her sleeping compartment is decorated in blue and there is a pink marble bathroom adjoining." ¶ Not to be outdone by the railroads, Scottish bus companies began uniforming their conductors in kilts and blazers embroidered with the companies' initials. Chided the Manchester Guardian: "From blazers...
