"I am sorry I cannot help you about the 'testament of the twelve patriarchs'. What I knew about it I obtained from the copy of Dr. Charles's book The Apocrypha and Pseudepigraphs of the Old Testament in English that belonged to the library of Bryn Mawr College (Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.) near which I was living at the time. I do not know of any publication of the book by itself, but only of the portions of it contained in the above work by Dr. Charles."

"Football matches, motor car rallies, royal occasions and many other sporting events cause the police much inconvenience and expense, but nobody suggests that these should be curtailed. Marches and sit-downs are merely concerned with the survival of men on this planet, and, therefore, according to your argument, ought to be stopped. I think you will agree that this is a curious attitude."
