 * An athlete might picturesquely lament that his ankle had betrayed him or that his wrist had gone on strike; and if such modes of speech acquired a wide vogue, we might now and then fall into the trap of supposing that we and our limbs are related in the way in which employers are related to their employees. We might start to talk seriously of cricketers being well advised to dismiss their limbs and to try to get on without them.
