Another book in the exhibition, "Selections from Robert Seymour," contains drawings of this same figure, one illustration, indeed, having the type of situation in which Dickens constantly placed Mr. Pickwick. It shows this kindly gentleman explaining to an impudent youth behind him how to throw the fishing line into the water correctly. He points out that there was not even a ripple when his fly hit the water, but he fails to notice that the hook is really caught in a limb just over his head and has never reached the stream...
Nevertheless, Edward VIII has always scrupulously performed his outward "public duties." He has been the "Empire Salesman." He has led a charmed youth with the result that today at 42 he still seems from a distance of 15 feet only about 22.

Both hawk-nosed figures are unmistakable likenesses, to the Bishop's quiet satisfaction, of George Craig Stewart...
...hearing far too much of this supposed gospel of leisure. A true gospel of leisure will say that much may be found in work itself. . . . Vigor belongs to spirituality and indolence belongs to sin. Since when has youth come to demand security and ceased to cry just for opportunity? . . . A mania has seized men to get things and do things easily. . . . God alone can change human lives and the church must learn to put this truth into practice...
