...anonymity, is doomed to the martyrdom of the fame he has repudiated. Later, the outside world in its total corruption is personified, as it has been so often before in novels, by a British popular journalist, and ex-London Timesman Greene must be presumed to know his type faces. Montagu Parkinson is in the Congo "for the riot," but a rumor about Querry and his newsworthy sanctity causes him to stop off at the leper hospital for a feature story...

There is certainly a magic transformation performed on women who enter appearing like Mrs. Malaprop and leave as beautifully embellished as Madame Recamier reclining on her chaise longue...
