Gilbert K. Chesterton
The Flying Inn
(Forgotten Books Dec. 5, 2017)
Excerpt from The Flying Inn
Why Should there be a Bull he cried, prolonging the word in his own way. Why Should there be a Bull in connexion with a festive locality? Who thinks about a Bull in gardens of delight? What need is there of a Bull when we watch the tulip-tinted maidens dance or pour the sparkling sherbet? You yourselves, my friends - and he looked around radiantly, as if addressing an enormous mob you yourselves have a proverb, It is not calculated to promote prosperity to have a Bull in a china-shop.' Equally, my friends, it would not be calculated to promote prosperity to have a Bull in a wine-shop. All this is clear.
He stuck his umbrella upright in the sand and struck one finger against another, like a man getting to business at last.
