And the vision ran down through the ages to one little earnest head on a Cook's steamer, bent sideways over the vital problem of rearranging 'our National Flag' so that it should be 'easier to count the stars. For the thousandth time: Praised be Allah for the diversity of His creatures! The Swiss are the only people who have taken the trouble to master the art of hotel-keeping.
