Ronald Storrs, Oriental Secretary to McMahon in Cairo.

pp 32/3 [tr ed p 57] - 'The first of us was Ronald Storrs, Oriental Secretary of the Residency, the most brilliant Englishman in the Near East, and subtly efficient, despite his diversion of energy in love of music and letters, of sculpture, painting, of whatever was beautiful in the world's fruit. None the less, Storrs sowed what we reaped, and was always first, and the great man among us.'

First portrait of Storrs, the second being a charcoal drawing by Sargent - an interesting contrast in styles.
