On Wednesday we got off work to go welcome King George V…
““On Wednesday we got off work to go welcome King George V and his wife. ... Quite fun seeing George and spouse, but event the old boy himself didn't arouse in me those instincts which prompted a woman on my right to fling her arms around Hooper as the King came passed, exclaiming “the King! the King!” much to the embarrassment of uncomfortable Hooper, whose face took on the delicate hues of some of the finer beetroots which, by the way, can be bough quite cheaply at any grocer, green of course.””
