I feel the strongest sympathy with a recent letter in

The Timis from Mr. Grant Richards, who protests against the ostentatious luxury of the Golden Arrow train, and in particular against the provision of a cocktail-bar as an apparent necessity for a journey of hour 40 minutes. Reversion to luxury of any kind at this time is repugnant to anyone who realises to what disastrous deprivation of necessaries half Europe is reduced. Jmnis.
