'You could have been a great Greek scholar', said my headmaster. 'Yet you threw it all away to swagger up and down the corridors of the school with the manners and appearance of a debauched clerk'

I was watching the operation with absorbed interest, when I became aware that an old lady in the landau was bowing to me. So I bowed back. She was wearing a mushroom-shaped hat with a veil round it, and I suddenly realised that this was Queen Victoria herself. She continued to bow, and I kept pace with the bows... London Calling
