St Bernard Dog

The Sunday Telegraph has a review, a bit late, of 'King's Counsellor: Abdication and War - The Diaries of Sir Alan Lascelles', aka "Tommy". The opening sentence is funny:

'Without vanity, I can say that my own impersonation of a St Bernard dog was the only histrionic feature of any real merit', writes Sir Alan Lascelles, Private Secretary to King George VI, of an evening of charades with the Royal Family at Balmoral in the late summer of 1942.
