"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."
