Excerpt from The Maritime Review, Vol. 12: November 16, 1906 We are assured there is no truth in the rumour that Father Vaughan is coming to Cardiff Docks for the purpose of saying a'thing or two to the local Smart Set. Fancy hearing something after the following at the Docks: To you, my brethren who. Righteous like the Pharisee, riotous like the Prodigal. Covetous like Dives, voluptuous like Tetrarch, frivolous like Salome, sensuous like the Magdalene. Or vicious like Herodias But why go into the dim vistas of the past for your models, Reverend Father '9 Why not pick up a few modern reincarnations of the same old push. And salt them is it the law of libel which stands in the way Perhaps, it is. You are fairly safe at throwing linguistic rocks at old Tetrarch, for instance. There isn't a kick (or a volupt) left in the hoary old sinner; and as for Dives well, he must have been more voluptuous than Tetrarc'l'i. After all. For he left an awful progeny around on the world. Seems to us. That these classical Johnnies are usually mixed up wrongly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
