I don't know how many Morganians are old enough to remember the delicious illustrator Nicolas Bentley, but I suspect quite a few of us are. The son of Edward Clerihew Bentley, inventor of the clerihew, he illustrated, among many other things, George Mikes's "How To Be An Alien" and his other satires on countries. And in his charming little 1957 Penguin "How Can You Bear To Be Human?" he has a whole page on Charles Morgan, which I cannot bring myself not to reproduce in toto.
