RKS British Literature: A Good Sportsman and the British Upper Classes (W. Somerset Maugham)

“Oh yes, he’s very popular. He’s just the sort of fellow they would like in Kuala Solor. I haven’t got much use for the first-rate sportsman myself. What does it amount in the long run that a man can play golf and tennis better than other people. And who cares if he can make a break of seventy-five at billiards? They attach a damned sight too much importance to that sort of thing in England.”

W. Somerset Maugham, “The Outstation”, 1926
