On the terrace overlooking Ibn Touloun's cloisters she accepted a vermouth saying equably, "It increases

my respect for the British that they should send officers around disguised as monks." [= , , Ibn Touloun, : " . She added in a quiet manner, "It is an interesting if disquieting idea - I might even have chosen him as a father-confessor." [= ( , ) ! These remarks were totally incomprehensible to me.

His monasteries were known for their more extreme asceticism, following more of the Eastern model. [= () ]. The monks ate no meat or fish and drank only water, no wine or beer. [= , , ].

Professor who had died young in the 1920s. [= 1900 1920]. Later on I learnt that her father had been a Tsarist railway magnate but that she had belonged to the pro-revolutionary avant-garde. [= , ]. She was a great amateur of the Orthodox Church and was one hundred per cent behind the joint efforts of Marshal Stalin and the Patriarch of Moscow in the pursuit of the Great Patriotic War. [= , , ]. She displayed total sovietisation but also knew western ways well. [= ]. She was very naturally considered an asset in the prevailing pro-Soviet climate of that time. [= , ]. I was living in Patrick's Ibn Touloun house. It was a lovely place and made for entertaining. [= , , , , ]. By an odd coincidence the second flat below Patrick's was occupied by another Balfour who was

no relation. [= , , , ( , )]. This David Balfour was something of a recluse, commissioned as a Major in the Intelligence Corps. [= Balfour , ( , ) , ( ) , . ]. I had invited Dr Zhukova to lunch, knowing hardly anything about her, but understanding full well that she had to be handled with all friendly circumspection. [= Zhukova , , - , , , ( )].

to mate with members of the same sex and even each other making them inbreeds! They have also been known to mate with other animals and are particularly fond of mating with siamese cats. The American breed are apparently a bunch of wankers but the Irish breed are not much different. The American breed unfortunately suffer from the same delusions as all Americans and have a tendency to Masturbate over they're own country and its leader. The Irish breed are quite fond of wresting, watching sweaty half-naked and sometimes almost completey naked men grapple with each other, but after all, they are bi-curious. One of them suffers from a genetic defect known as melon head syndrome which unfortunately for him brings him a lot of ridicule as he has a melon head. Regards Pophead Balfour is a wanker = ].

* 1944 The fact is that a scrupulous scholar called David Balfour moved out of the Roman Church into the Orthodox because what he wanted to read was in the library of a Mount Athos monastery. [=

Balfour ]. , !; !; ( ) ! , ; . . While reading he found that the Orthodox way suited him, so he stayed on until the war was about to engulf the whole Athos life. [= (), , [!] (! ;)- (), (- . , . 5-6 , ! ; , . ).] The British Admiralty had a Destroyer in nearby waters, rounding up deserving persons from the Islands. [= , . (.

)]. So the Navy went to Mount Athos and collected thirty or forty monks who, largely in view of their national origins, did not wish to risk life inside a zone of Nazi occupation. , , , . ! 1 30-40 ! 2 , . ; 3 , , , , , , , ! , . 4 . , .

5 ; ; ; , ! . The Destroyer, with over one hundred very dirty refugees from the various islands, made for the nearest Allied port, which was then called Haifa, now Tel Aviv. [= , , , ( !)]. , ;! ! : 100 100 , , , ;! 100 ; ; . , . , ! ! . The Pioneer Corps had a disinfesting station ready on the quay through which all such arrivals

had to be funneled. [= ( , ), , ]. Most of the passengers accepted this abjectly, as they were used to being pushed around. [= , ]. Not so the monks, and they formed a compact huddle. [= , ]. The NCO i/c Disinfestation Detail shouted at this group to move along, because he did not have all day and because once a regular movement stops the Army knows very well that everything can rapidly get out of hand. [ , , ]. The huddle got more compact, so he shouted louder; no resulting movement came, but, out of it came a clear very English voice saying "SergeantMajor, I trust I am reading your rank-markings correctly, if you will tell me exactly what you are proposing I will explain it to the good Fathers who have not understood what you wish of them. They can then decide whether they will be able to comply." [ , , ]

The sergeant, surprised at this upper-class English voice coming out of a black-robed, longhaired, scrum of tattered bearded clerics, explained that, to protect both travellers and residents from plague, everyone had either to be quarantined or to have their body hair, head hair and beard clipped off. [ , , , , , ]. After this they then had to take a hot shower while their clothes were passed through superheated steam. [= ]. All this, translated by Pop Dmitri/David Balfour, caused intense debate and no compliance. [ Dmitri Balfour] To break the impasse David then volunteered to go through with it, for the others to see exactly what exactly was involved. , , , , ]. He advanced, was duly stripped and clipped. When he lost his beard he lost his faith. Being polyglot and reputed to have been the fatherconfessor to the Greek Royal Family, the Intelligence Corps was very glad to recruit him. ...

. , , , !... ;! , ; !; One authority told me that since David's soutane did not survive the steaming, the Sergeant Major had to give him a set of khaki-drill fatigues. [= , , , , , !] This set a sartorial seal on the changes forming in his mind, just as had the soutane, years before, on his anointment to Orthodox Holy Orders: L'habit fait le moine David Balfour reacted immediately to the Zhukova encounter by seeing it all as a red offensive in which I was deeply compromised. He insisted that one or other of us had to leave the house. [= , , , (. !) , ! - , !] I had of course made my own reports on Zhukova's extraordinary retentive memory and powers of recognition. [

. , , , !] If nothing else, the incident provided a heavensent opportunity for a test: only the three people concerned were aware of David's unscheduled encounter with Zhukova, and since piquant information tends to spread, where it comes back from can indicate where it got out. [= -] If any version or hint of British spies in Orthodox soutanes became current in circles related to Lovinov, the Russian Minister-of-Legation (who chronically doubted British good-faith and who would have lapped up the story), we would have had clear demonstration of a Zhukova double function. This did not happen. [= Lovinov, ( ), , . , . , , . ,

, ]. Zhukova stayed in United Nations service for the next ten years and became a factor for tolerance with a great appetite for international tea-parties. [= Zhukova , , ]. After the war she got into UNESCO, but, in 1954, the American anti-red purging mission, led by McCarthy's lieutenants Cohn and Shine, had her fired. [= , , 1954, Mc Carthy, () , . ; , ]. She ended her days in a Russian Orthodox Hostel in Jerusalem, having decided not to return to the Soviet Uhion. [= , ]. Lord Moyne thought that the staircase incident must have been invented until David Balfour's sense of outrage gave witness to its literal truth. Happily David Balfour and I became reconciled. [= , Moyne, , Balfour

, ]. He ended up as Consul General in Istanbul and wrote an excellent yachtsman's guide to the Turkish coast. [= , , , , ! (: , ). , , . * , , , . -, . , ,
