Strange and manifold


It was at one of these matches that I first saw Shah Sujah, the king, who had come down as the guest of McNaghton. He was a portly, brown-bearded man who stood gravely contemplating the game, and when McNaghton asked him how he liked it, said:

'Strange and manifold are the ways of God.'

Flashman, p.88, Pan edition, 12th printing, 1979.
