How happy everybody was, we were told, and I suppose they were - some English love improvisation and 'do it yourself'. But I belong to the other English, who don't like the right pigeon-hole used for the wrong papers, or the wrong label on the right box. I chafed under all this glorious dissolution, chafed for law and order.
A. Wilson, The old men at the zoo (1961), 278
