...life of a well-to-do Englishman, which included frequent fox-hunts with conservative companions. Behind this façade, Engels supported Marx financially, arranged for the publication of his work, kept an Irish mistress, studied military strategy in preparation for the World Revolution. Reading constantly, Engels learned "to stutter in 20 languages," learned Persian in three weeks, once wrote that he was going to take a fortnight off to master Gothic before studying Old Nordic and Old Saxon.

H. the Duke of York opened the World Poultry Congress at London amid so many sounds that his ov,n slight stutter passed unnoticed. Aged 34 and father of one, H. R. H. genially inspected and praised "The Grandmother of English Hens," a venerable bird just seven years his junior. Red jungle fowl from India passed Royal muster as "a species believed to be direct descendants of the ancestors of all barnyard fowl...
