As Prime Minister, he was constantly darting off to London for receptions and ceremonies, test matches at the fashionable Marylebone Cricket Club, and the Commonwealth Conference ("I make a few statesmanlike remarks. The eminent gentlemen of the civil service, who have already written the ultimate communiqué, say, 'Yes, that was a good point...
