Agog with admiration, a leggy, Kierkegaard-quoting girl bagpiper sweeps him off in her car for a premarital shakedown trip to Mexico, where she hopes to make a real swinger of him, but, depressed by his invincible fuddy-duddery, gives him up as an incurable limey. "The problem is," she tells him, "you're too kind. You carry too many woes. You get thrown all the time . . . It's all those coronations and that changing of the guard...

I wouldn't describe myself as a swinger. So I had a lot of research to do." He prowled from Carnaby Street to King's Road, slipping in and out of boutiques and coffeehouses, among other places, and summed up the scene in a collage technique that includes, as he put it, "bits of just about everything -acrylics...
