A Slice of the Big Apple by T. D. WEBSTER
An interest in elderly cars is a harmless enough eccentricity. Motoring holidays in France are not unusual either. However, if your elderly car is stolen and then turns up again, and if all sorts of strange people are very interested in its whereabouts when you get home, perhaps something neither harmless nor usual has happened.

Diaghllev - Maecenas of the Arts. Born in Russia, March 1872 - died in Venice, August 1929.
' I am first a charlatan, though rather a brilliant one; secondly, a great charmer: thirdly, frightened of nobody; fourthly, a man with plenty of logic and very few scruples: fifthly, I seem to have no real talent. Nonetheless, I believe that I have found my true vocation - to be a Maecenas.
I have everything necessary, except money - but that will come.'
(SERGEI PAVLOVITCH
