...often and so fortunately occurred in English history, a Scotsman, Victor Alexander John Hope, Marquess of Linlithgow, was making good last week in one of the Empire's greatest jobs, that of Viceroy & Governor General of India. This tall, strongly-built and stanch lowlander arrived at the Viceregal Capital of New Delhi last spring with the especial confidence of Britons. Here was no glittering snob of a Lord Curzon, no "friend" of Mahatma Gandhi like Lord Halifax, and above all no amateur who would have to study India from tne isolation of his golden Throne and might begin...
Twenty laps in the pool. He was doing fifty this summer but it was a smaller pool. Eyes hurt in the sun, too much chlorine in the water. No cocktail before dinner, swore off two weeks ago and only had one since. Dinner in the Master' lodgings, the Master tall gray quiet man, professor in an antique tongue. Master's wife good company.

Suddenly light shone brightly from the door of the trailer. The figure of a matronly woman appeared, sprang into the night. A tall, broad-shoulered man followed. Pell-mell down the dark hill they ran beside the rolling caravan. Then the woman jumped for the running board of the car to pull its brakes. She slipped, fell, lay groaning, while her distracted companion rushed to her side. The car rolled on, crunched solidly...
...book is given over to the swift summaries of crimes of violence and to careful description of the histories, habits, earnings and untimely ends of the lost ladies who once crowded Basin Street and the district nearby. Typical of these case histories is that of Fanny Sweet, tall, homely, bespectacled girl who was thrown out of half-a-dozen of the toughest brothels in a tough city for bad behavior. Fleeing to San Francisco in 1849, she ran a haberdashery at enormous profit, killed a stage driver and later a member of a mob that invaded her home. Freed...
