NOISES IN THE NIGHT
Sir-yYour delightful article on "Noises in the Night" exemplifies "Toleration" as so ably discussed by the BBC on the YC stations. Toleration is defined as co-existing with something we do not like, and the snores of the protecting male must be interpreted satisfactorily if they are to be endured. My own attitude is that snoring is a mild form of self-gratification on the part of one who likes to make himself heard without a rival. In the day Mother sings round the house, the lad whistles on his bicycle, uncle fiddles with his moustache, and at night Father 1ums through his uvula.
