I am at a small inn, near the Terminal Hotel. I ate my dinner last night surrounded by English people. With brain still pulsing with the motion of the sea, I went to my bed, rejoicing to feel around me the solid stone walls of this small but ancient hotel.

Come at once to my house. I have a message for you.

I have an invitation for you to the Authors' Society Dinner which comes next week. It will be what you would call 'a big round-up' and you can't afford to miss it. You must go at once and order that evening suit.

Can't I go as I am?
human
Certainly not. It is a full-dress affair.

But George Bernard Shaw is reported to be without the dress suit.
human
Yes, admitted Zangwill,

Shaw goes everywhere in tweeds, but then he is Shaw, and can afford to do as he pleases. You will not see him at this dinner. He seldom goes to such functions.

I'll do it! If I must surrender, let it be on a grand occasion like this. I am in your hands.

We will go at once. That suit must be ready for the dinner which comes on Thursday. There's not a moment to spare. The cow-boy must be tamed.
