“Shall I neglect you a little?' suggested Tommy. ‘Take other women about to night clubs. That sort of thing. 'Useless,' said Tuppence. ‘You would only meet me there with other men.

“Así como hoy nos maravillan el arte y el cálculo arquitectónico con que han sido emplazadas, hasta para efectos de perspectiva, las columnas del Partenón, un día llegará en que se conceda extenso y admirativo comento a las columnas del Estadio Metropolitano. No busquéis ninguna belleza aparente en ellas; son seis, prismáticas, de cemento y, auxiliadas en su retaguardia por otras seis de hierro, sirven para soportar la techumbre de las tribunas. Pero poseen, una por una, la propiedad de ocultar al espectador las jugadas más interesantes, de interponerse entre sus ojos y algo decisivo que ocurre en el campo. Mi desconocimiento de todas las ciencias que intervienen en la edificación me mueve a creer que se trata de algo de magia, y o es así o yo estoy alucinado cuando me parece que la columna que me corresponde se desplaza insensiblemente para tapar al jugador que chuta o a la portería amenazada.”
