Imagine how delighted I was to find this wonderful post about their relationship! I thought you might like to know what a delight it was. Thank you so much.”

I love Belloc. He is such an enlightened Edwardian reprobate. To paraphrase what Churchill apparently didn’t say but should have, he had none of the virtues I deplore, and all the sins that I admire. (Well, all but one.) —RML
