He stood for a few minutes in his dining room. A copy of the "Evening News" lay open at the center page. His eye fell on the cartoon. It represented the Prime Minister dangling a carrot between two donkeys. One of the donkeys had the head of Hitler. the other Mussolini. Corbett remembered how they had laughed aver it at dinner time. It didn't seem so funny now.
