For that matter, it’s not entirely clear why Lewis Carroll would have the Hatter and Hare reappear, and as Anglo-Saxon messengers at that. Martin Gardner reports that studies of the Anglo-Saxon period were in vogue at the time Carroll wrote, and Carroll describes Haigha’s “Anglo-Saxon attitudes” in this fashion: “For the Messenger kept skipping up and down, and wriggling like an eel, as he came along with his great hands spread out like fans on each side.” This is apparently a reference to how people look in Anglo-Saxon art, as seen in the Bayeux Tapestry.

Correction to this article

WHEN the half-American Lieutenant Winston Churchill stood up in a ballroom at the Waldorf Astoria in 1900 to tell New York about the Boer war, Mark Twain was the man who introduced him. No fan of either Britain's imperial war in South Africa or America's against Spain at about the same time, the writer spoke of the links between their two countries. “We have always been kin: kin in blood, kin in religion, kin in representative government, kin in ideals, kin in just and lofty purposes; and now we are kin in sin, the harmony is complete, the blend is perfect, like Mr Churchill himself, whom I now have the honour to present to you.”
