MOTLEY NOTES: Sleight of Hand

... MOTLEY NOTES. By ALAN KEMP. 9 V Sleight of Hand. There is a boyish playfulness about the Prime Minister which must be very deplorable to serious-minded people like the Germans. You have only to look at the contrast between the superb gesture of Hitler giving the semaphore salute and Mr. Churchill waggishly giving the V-sign to realise the difference between a Herrenvolk and an effete democracy ...

MOTLEY NOTES: Going Places

... MOTLEY NOTES, By ALAN KEMP. Going Places. Our statesmen do go places, don't they? Here to-day and there to-morrow-- you never know where they will bob up. It cannot be just fun for them. Mr. Churchill has never been exactly immobile, but long journeys by sea, land and air cannot be any thing but a for midable prospect when a thousand other things accumulate both on his desk and on his mind for ...

... By JOYCE DENNYS. MY DEAR ROBERT-- A Queen of the W.V.S. came down to talk to us one day last week. I met Lady B. hurrying down the Street that morning, so as to get her shopping done early before the meeting, and we walked along together. It was an unpleasant, cold, wet day, and everybody we met looked worried and hurried. The Shopping Face seems to have got worse lately, said Lady B., after ...

OUR FIRST WORD

... [excerpts from the introductory article on the first page of the first issue of The Sketch, February I, 1893.] 'If it be true that good wine needs no bush, then 'tis true that a good play needs no epilogue,' as Rosalind remarks, with charming inconsequence, when she proceeds to secure the suffrages of her audience by an adroit compliment to the women and a proposal to kiss the men. We have ...

SEARCHLIGHT

... .' By FRANK KING. ROGER PORTER'S comfortably furnished lounge looked as though someone had deliberately wrecked it. Every drawer in the bureau was pulled out, contents scattered on the floor. The doors of the glass-fronted bookcase stood open, and books from the shelves had been tossed aside in confusion. Pictures on the walls hung askew, one of them revealing a small safe, from the lock of ...

MOTLEY NOTES: New Year Hate

... MOTLEY NOTES, By ALAN KEMP. New Year Hate. Good will and affability are in season, but they become hackneyed. I want to be original. Why not a little New Year Hate? The enemy has a plateful of it every morning for breakfast, so why shouldn't we have a spoon ful or two just once a year? I will omit the too obvious hatees. I will not attempt to say what I think of That Wicked Man I can safely ...

THE CHANGE-RINGERS

... .' By PETER KENDALL. THE car swung sharply left-handed under the arch leading to the hotel yard and slid to a smooth standstill. The Red Lion at Westholm, in Kent, some fifteen miles from London, was a mellow red brick-built old coaching inn, which for forty years had been owned by old Tom Longley.
