George Mikes was a rather splendid person in many ways.
And he wasn’t George Steiner!
Lest this statement baffle the casual reader, I was trying to think of George X’s name for some reason which now escapes me and my initial description - George Thing, Eastern European writer, spoke lots of languages - elicited the suggestion of Mikes from an Helpful Fish.
Yes, well, understandable error I feel.
Oh, yes - entirely.
Oooh. That looks good.
