• Page 255: Down under neath he's so damned human—and he's never had a chance to show it. You ought to have seen us the other night, squatting on a million-dollar rug, in his house with ten thousand dollars worth of electric light shining on us and fifty thousand dollars worth of servants peeking around the corner—down on the floor playing tiddledy-winks. Cross my heart. And it would have made you cry to see how the old guy enjoyed it.

• True enough. Why answer it? But what difference did it make if paper burned? Was man after all a creature consecrated to institutions, doomed to expend himself upon institutions? A hundred million nervous systems, each capable of ecstasies and torments, devoting themselves to the business of political brick-laying. Always yowling about new bricks. Politics--a deformity of the imagination; a game of tiddledy-winks played with guns and souls.

Here was the pack of Happy Families with Mrs. Chip now a widow, Mr. Block the Barber a widower, and the two young Grits grotesque orphans of the grocery. There were Ludo and Lotto and Tiddled Winks whose counters, though terribly depleted, were still eloquent with the undetermined
  squabbles and favourite colours of childhood.

The result was not unlike a portion of hash—mental hash of course—topped by a poached egg that had been slightly beaten before poaching, the egg being strictly fresh and strictly mental. The troublesome paragraph in its final form ran something like this:
  
  The glaciations help in giving us certain time-markers for dating our tiddledywinks. You sort them out by colors and put the little ones along in a row.
  Rivers were swollen and became active agents of erosion by which great accumulations of sand and gravel were deposited in the little basket in the middle of the table. With the coming of an interglacial stage the red ones are separated from the blue and green ones and only terraces of the former filling would be placed
  along in a row before each player, the oldest in the higher level, the youngest in the lower.
