The story is told of Winston Churchill, shortly after he left the Conservative side in the House of Commons.
He was asked to take a certain young lady into the dining room. While she clung to his arm as they descended, she looked coyly at him and remarked with the frankness and audacity of youth:
'Mr. Churchill, there are two things about you I dislike very much.'
'And what are they?'
'Your new politics and your mustache.'
He looked deeply into her eyes for a moment and then replied with a lofty air.
'My dear, pray do not disturb yourself. You are not likely to come in contact with either.'
