As he caromed from fiasco to triumph to cataclysm, he was sustained only by his rare talent for creating a Face to suit every occasion....grimaces like his Mad-Peasant face or Shot-in-the-Back face, smirks like the Evelyn Waugh or Sex-Life-in-Ancient-Rome. Jim held tenuously to a probationary instructorship at a small English University and his hopes for re-appointment lay solely in his ability to butter up Professor Welch, the odious and vapid head of his department."
