OTHER PEOPLE’S IDEAS
THAT DANCE (To the Editor.) Sir, —Your correspondent with the Victorian complex shows a rare aptitude for making extremes meet m combining a pedantic disdain of the “Poet of Empire” (a mere winner of the Nobel Prize for literature) with an apparent misconception of the meaning of the word “rapine.” At such a diverting combination of the highbrow sniff and the schoolboy howler, it is a matter for interesting speculation whether even Victoria the Good, of revered memory, could have remained unamused. —I am, etc., RUDYARD. Masterton, November 26.
