Their favourite occupation is to be taken about by women and to crawl around lounges and heroically consume numerous cocktails . . . the while they feel proudly what “devils we men are!” Naturally they are much too refined

to work, even if their profession of woman-chasing left them any time for such a mundane thing. That they like perfume goes without saving . . . the worst examples even use it themselves, and of course they sit up all night to make sure they are seeing life and sleep all morning in pale shell-pink silk pyjamas . . . maybe the more voluptuous type choose black and Chinese red with golden dragons straying indiscreetly round the pockets. Whatever their particular characteristics, they’re a despicable pest, and ought to be dealt with under the Noxious Weeds Act, or else just stamped on . . . same as any other reptiles I HAL
