After Victory

        Few executions except for the newspaper peers – Viscount Stuford certainly.  The Rev. McFarlane? 
        Duchess of Holbook for the new human zoo.
        Tom to have the Welsh Marches.
        Ian a choice of Durham or Norfolk.
        Edward for films.
        Gabriel to the Foreign department.
        B something he can't spoil.
        Other posts to be decided as quickly as possible.
        Monthly fireworks displays.

– W.H. Auden, The Orators (1931)
