"I wonder who can find a word for this kind of thing: A
proud, pompous Cabinet member, walking in his court-
yard and reliving a particularly devastating speech he
made that morning in the Emperor's presence, steps,
*with regret*, on a pen-an-ink sketch someone has lost
or discarded. (Woe is me, there's a prose writer in our
midst; I have to use italics where the Oriental poet
wouldn't."
S:AI, p.121.
