==Summary==
The night before [[C.S. Lewis]] and Tolkien had dined with C.E.M. Joad at [[Wikipedia: Magdalen College, Oxford|Magdalen College]], who had just published ''The Recovery of Belief''. Tolkien said that except for his face Joad was very like a toad, and in character closely resembled Mr. Toad of Toad Hall. He found him intelligent, kindly, and they agreed on many fundamental points. Joad had been in Russia and loathed it. Its “new towns” did not rise above [[Wikipedia:Willesden|Willesden]] level, the country did not "rise" at all, and he claimed that if you were in a train and looked out the window, read a book for a few hours, then looked out again it would appear that the train had not moved at all.
