>>> >> him---apart, of course, from his Olympian extravagance. He was the

>>> >> of

>>> >> Python. And his delight in shocking people led him on to greater and

>>> >> last minute paper chases whenever we were expecting important guests.

>>> >> affectionately against the legs of gray-suited executives, and
>>> >> delicately
>>> >> nibbling the more appetizing female calves. Mrs. Eric Morecambe

>>> >> that too.
>>> >>
>>> >> I remember his being invited to speak at the Oxford union, and

>>> >> the

>>> >> with
>>> >> a
>>> >> large, bright green sprig as a hat----and then, when his turn came to

>>> >> silent man has succeeded in inciting a riot.

>>> >> the
