One can only regret that Norman Douglas' gentleman who laid all the ills of the world to a faulty method of fornication, and who had invented a new and better system to remedy this was not in attendance with...
...Those on it perfected a technique of cold blodded exploitation and ruthless betrayal of trusts which would make Captain Kidd and the Brotherhood look like second rate pikers.
