2. One of the men who had to walk down this precarious companionway was Malcolm MacDonald, the British dominions secretary in 1938, still vainly attempting to reconcile the desperate promises of the First World War before the outbreak of the Second, trying to preserve order in the British mandate of Palestine by restricting Jewish immigration.

11. I buy a harmonium - nearly an organ - and spend the rest of my life playing it, thickened with doleful dirges, vainly trying to lay the trauma, my only satisfaction the ashen faced, staring eyed audiences staggering out at the end of performances, primed, and ready to carry on the good work.
12. The English language, to which Eliot had dedicated (vainly, he worried) so much of his life is here reduced merely to "the dialect" of a "tribe".
13. Penny Downie gives an astonishing performance of self-lacerating despair as the social worker, vainly attempting to achieve merciful oblivion on a bender of drugs and booze, but I felt Diana Rigg could have dug deeper into the character of Rosa, though her prim Englishness undoubtedly makes a fine and comic contrast with Downie's degradation.
