[38] I always remember the witty jibe of a chairman at my expense on this subject, who, when proposing a vote of thanks to me, asked whether I seriously approved of the idea of providing “wild-cat schemes” in order to bring romance into the lives of millionaires.

[43] This is even a higher spirit than that shown in the advice given in the Agamemnon (speaking of the victor's attitude after the taking of Troy):

“Yea, let no craving for forbidden gain

Bid conquerors yield before the darts of greed.”

[44] The great war in which we have become involved since this book was written has furnished brilliant examples of these finer qualities.

[45] It is curious to find that the story of “Puss-in-Boots” in its variants is sometimes presented with a moral, sometimes without. In the valley of the Ganges it has none. In Cashmere it has one moral, in Zanzibar another.
