· “peruke-maker” T. Auden (1905) “Brought up at
Manchester as a barber and peruke-maker, he adopted the Jacobite
principles”
——

M. F. K.

For authentic
Comity the gathering should be small
And unpublic:
At mass-banquets where flosculent speeches are made
In some hired hall
We think of ourselves or nothing. Christ's cenacle
Seated a baker's dozen, King Arthur's rundle
The same, but to-day, when one's host may well be his own
Chef, servitor and scullion,
When the cost of space can double in a decade,
Even that holy Zodiac number is
Too large a frequency for us:
In fact, six lenient semble sieges,
None of them perilous,

Is now a Perfect
Social Number.
