SIR OSBERT SI1WELL'S BUS

Sta,—Your review of The Scarlet Tree quotes Sir Osbert Sitwell's description of the London horse-bus with "two large wheels in front and two smaller--ones behind." But were the wheels in this descending order of magnitude? My fading memoly and the picture opposite (p. 52 of the book) suggest that they were not..--Yours faithfully,
