...midget horses. Instead of the classic "They're off!" and the clanging bell soon drowned in the thunder of hooves you hear "Theeeere goes SWIFty!!" and a white, shiny, stuffed, vulgar mechanical rabbit on the end of a pole whirs in front of the hounds, who scramble after in mad pursuit...
Russian History from 1855-1917. Exciting, decadent stuff. Mad monks, Faberge Easter eggs, and more Czars than you can shake a sceptre at. This course is taught by Leopold H.

To assert that MacBird rapes the old Swan with no intelligence and no compassion is evidently to miss the point, for Miss Garson makes no claims for her idiom or for her pentameters. "I worked for four months with Shakespeare...
