FROM “SADROCK: A DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY.”
Published in 1940.
Before leaving our consideration of Sadrock’s Homeric studies it is however necessary to point out that late in life he made a very curious recantation. In a book of memoirs, published in 1920, by one who was in a position to acquire special information, it is stated in his own words that Sadrock preferred Robert Elsmere to the Iliad; while during the same conversation he confessed to a passion for the services of Dissenters, which, he said, he often frequented incognito. No biographer can disregard such admissions, and we must revise our opinion of the great statesman accordingly.

“When is the demoralisation at some of our great London hotels to give place to reasonable service and cleanliness? On every side I hear complaints of inefficient attendance and dirty rooms. As for clean towels in the bathroom, they appear on the Ides of March.”—Sunday Paper.
At one hotel, we understand, they failed to remember the Ides of March and are now waiting for the Greek Kalends.
