...happy to welcome home my son, the Prince of Wales, on his recent return from his visit to South Africa, West Africa and South America. I have been deeply touched by the account he gave to me of the warm welcome everywhere accorded him, and I am proud to think that his visit served to deepen the affection which has united my people and to strengthen the bonds which link this country with the peoples of South America...

In this labyrinthine tavern with steps up, steps down from room to room, with a billiard room that is half of the kitchen marked off by a broad red line across which the cooks dare not tread but over which they pasa nicely browned sausages or still-warm tarts to the loungers in the billiard department?in this delectable tavern foregather Michael Webb and claimants to culture.

She couldn't talk?the only time I ever heard her utter a vocal sound was once when she fell on a hot furnace grating. Then she uttered a sort of animal sound. She was absolutely helpless...
...spiritual crises of deep, positive natures under the stresses and distortions of post-War civilization in Germany. Here his framework is the Enoch Arden dilemma: a War prisoner home from Siberia after six years, finds his wife married to a charitable cause. She has been transformed from a warm, passive complement to his life into an active self-sufficient woman. The pangs of their readjustment strike deeply into the lives of two women with whom the wife has become closely associated, a saintly semimythical Princess and a courageous widow through whom the husband discovers how irrevocably he belongs...
