And then there are the Jews." "There are many in the land, or at least in London," said Yeovil.
"There are even more of them now than there used to be," said Holham.

But of the others, the men who by temperament and everything else were far more Teuton or Polish or Latin than they were British, it was not to be expected that they would be heartbroken because London had suddenly lost its place among the political capitals of the world, and became a cosmopolitan city.
