France's left-wing leaders trimmed their sails to the prevailing wind. The Communists came about with their usual adroitness. They dropped the "Thorez to Power!" slogan, issued a manifesto with the new line: "Republican unity at all costs!" Wrote Socialist Secretary General Daniel Mayer in the Party organ, Le Populaire: "The Socialist Party is ready once again to strive for conciliation of all Republicans...
Before Cluny knows it, she is raising hob with the punctilio of three levels of snobbery-the aristocratic, the backstairs (Sara Allgood et al.) and, deadliest of all, the lower middle class.

...only recently admitted foreigners, and even substantial citizens still clung to their old ways. According to Chinese medical lore, the pulses were of prime importance in diagnosis-both the right and the left pulse, tested at three points on each wrist, each point revealing the condition of a particular organ. A freshly killed rooster helped to drive away fever. At time of childbirth, opened doors, cupboards and trunks helped to keep the birth canal open. A respectable lady did not allow a male doctor to examine her person. Hidden behind the bed curtains, she extended first one wrist, then...
