Mr. George Lawrence, C.M.G., First Class District Officer of His
Majesty's Civil Service, sat at the door of his tent and viewed
the African desert scene with the eye of extreme disfavour.
There was beauty neither in the landscape nor in the eye of the
beholder.
- Beau Geste (pt. 1) [Books (First Lines)]
I will start at the very nadir of my fortunes, at their very
lowest depths, and you will see them rise to their zenith, that
highest point where they are crowned by Failure.
- Beau Sabreur (pt. 1, ch. 1)
