English Questions A Teacher's Difficulties

To the Editor of the a "Nonru-CumwA Dany NEWS"

Sm,—Being a teacher of modern English literature to Chinese students, l should appreciate if you or any of your readers could help me about [the following. few questions of English:

1. "That with no middle flight intends to soar." "The other harmony of prose." Iam fairly sure that these two quotations are Shakespearian, but I simply can't locate them in Shakespeare's complete works.

2. "Lightning make-up artists."

3. In a tale by John Galsworthy, a "Lancelot in disguise" is used of a Writer of short stories. Surely the ion is not to the famous knight in King Arthur's romance.

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
