A review by hrlukz
Zuleika Dobson by Max Beerbohm

« The Americans were, to a sensitive observer, the most troublesome- as being the most troubled- of the whole lot. The Duke was not one of those Englishmen who fling, or care to hear flung, cheap sneers at America. Whenever anyone in his presence said that America was not large in area, he would firmly maintain that it was. He held too, in his enlightened way, that Americans have a perfect right to exist. But he did often find himself wishing Mr. Rhodes had not enabled them to exercise that right in Oxford. »
