Note 3 — II
Reading edition
Even in Teixeira’s wide reading there were occasional gaps; and, until I brought it to his notice, he was unacquainted with the celebrated life of Sir Christopher Wren by Mr. E. Clerihew and Mr. G. K. Chesterton:
‘Sir Christopher Wren Said, “I am going to dine with some men. If anybody calls Say I am designing St. Paul’s.”’
After reading it, Teixeira’s nightly valediction as he left for his bridge club was: “I think ... yes, I think I shall design St. Paul’s for an hour or two.”
