en The BBC is a perfect example of uncontrolled growth, [occupying] old churches and manor houses, the old Langham Hotel where Sherlock Holmes once met Moriarty and where this correspondent once shared an office with an 8-foot bathtub.

With his long, white, nervous fingers he adjusted the delicate needle, and rolled back his left shirt-cuff.
