After his escape from capture in the Boer War, the twenty-six-
year-old Churchill won a seat in Parliament.

To make himself
look older, he grew a mustache.

was not enthusiastic about his independent political views
encountered him at a dinner party.

"Winston," she scolded, I approve of neither your politics nor
your mustache."

"Madam," replied Winston, "you are not likely to come in
contact with either."
