A

It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, “have you read this?” I replied with extreme foolishness, “yes, hundreds of times.”

“And you have nothing to declare?”

“Nothing.”

“How long have you been out of this country?”

“About three months.”

“And during that time you have acquired nothing?”

“Nothing but what is on the list I have given you.”

He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected.

I explained, but I had already lost face.
