'I was born frivolous and frivolous I have remaine, ' declares Arthur Marshall, brooking no interference in his pursuit of levity. And, he adds, 'I in no way regret it'. His countless readers will sigh with relief, send up three cheers, and press on with his new book, which is intended to amuse - and no nonsense about profundity or deep thought. There is plenty of useless information though. Did you know that Rupert Brooke could pick up a tennis ball with his foot? Or that there is a little-known illness called Lettucephobia? Or that Mr. Gladstone kept soup in his hot water bottle, just in case? Or that the Christian Science Monitor was once blessed with an editor called Silence Bellows? Well, now you do. 2. Near Fine/Near Fine.
