« Arthur Waley hopes there is nothing he can do | Main | Duff Cooper meets the Lebanese minister, 1945 »
[British Ambassador to France, Duff Cooper, writes of Prime Minister Winston Churchill on holiday in France after V-E day]
--Biarritz, 12 July 1945
Winston's method of bathing is to wallow like a walrus in shallow water, floating about and abandoning himself to the waves. A number of the inhabitants watched with evident amazement this extraordinary spectacle.
--From The Duff Cooper Diaries, ed. by Cooper's son John Julius Norwich
