"I need not have been afraid for aunt Dot; once again she had revealed her quality of resilient and invulnerable immortality, which had enabled her in the past to surmount a thousand hazards, escaping from perils of brigands, cannibals, mercy-killings, harems, crocodiles, lions, camels, and now Russia."
--- Laurie,
The Towers of Trebizond, by Rose Macaulay, 1956
