...fibers of his mind as in the case of the very late Victoria, that nothing but temperament remains. Admittedly this is not the romantic, or popular, view. The contemporary offshoots of Houston Stewart Chamberlain like to conjure him up as a natural Nazi, a nationalist and illiberal to the linger tips, an exponent of all the fireeating nonsense conventionally associated with the Prussian landholder and thus addicted to patting Herr Hitler on the head with many a foxy benison...

Hosanna in the highest! Let the congregation sing...

In the mother country, every town has its antiquarian bookshop where the youth may browse and the scholar linger.
