This article focuses on the book "Twilight in the Forbidden City," by Reginald Johnston. There are Englishmen, and Americans for that matter, who literally wag all over when in the presence of "nobility," that is, of people who have not worked lot their living for hundreds of years. Such an Englishman is Reginald Johnston, author of "Twilight in the Forbidden City," who was the English tutor of Pu Yi, the last of the degenerate Manchu dynasty which the Chinese people overthrew in 1911. Reginald wags through 500 pages of twaddle about the doings of him he calls the "Emperor" and of the make-believe Manchu court in the Forbidden City in Peking after 1911.
