When foreign news duties took Griffith to Europe, he, like many another American, fell under the spell of the Continent's ancient glories, but coolly assessed its caretaker, rather than dare-taker, cultures. He admired the well-bred aplomb of knowledgeable Englishmen whose ease of manner gives "the impression of having already lived once," but found "too many reserved seats" in English life.
