Seated on the rail of the greatest liner, coyly showing the rounded part of the famous knees, she may adorn the front page of the Mirror.

But though the world play suppliant at her feet, yet all this is as nothing if the keystone of her career has not been dropped into place. If the joyful tidings have not been shared in the corridors of Sever, if the word has not been whispered across the tables of the Reading Room, if the number two relay man has not given the news along with the baton to the number three runner, the plaudits of the world have been wasted on greatness unfulfilled.
