One evening, a short time since Maude Radford Warren witnessed the following race against time that was staged near Victoria Station, London, at an hour when traffic is thickest: "Presently a shouting and 'cursing arose at the center of the intersect- ing streets. People turned, peering and gaping. Straking straight through the traffic, regardless of thundering trucks and sliding cabs and, obstructing pedestrians, came a Scotchman. His eyes were glassy and staring, his kilts were flying, his knees were twinkling. On he came, straight for the public house. If he could get a hand on a glass of his national vodka by 9.29% he was saved. Would he make it? A grdup of ribald Americans cheered him on, yelling at him in race-track fashion, His fellow Scotchmen silently made way for him, and somé of them even pushed people out of his path. But they did not cheer; it was a matter too deep for sounds. On came Sandy; panting, glaring, he leaped through the door, and a sympathizer from over the seas 'who followed him re- ported that at 9.29% he had a strong Highland paw curled around three fingers of Scotch. The Early Closing Law, thanks to good sprinting, had been ' respected--but nevertheless, 'the trench bad been taken and the day saved." -- Everybody's magus zine. & Walpole's "Foolery."
