For the record (and since it took me so long to find), the mangled quotation just correctly removed comes from the The Sunday Times 28 Jan 1934, p13. Author "Autolycus". The corrected text is as follows:
"The health of Sir Ronald Storrs has always belied his robust exterior. Now it seems likely to deprive the Colonial Office of one of its most versatile officials. Only by rigid asceticism—he is a non-smoker, a teetotaller, and, as a rule, an unwilling vegetarian—has he managed hitherto to pursue his career.
This started in Egypt, where Lord Kitchener found his talents as a linguist and a collector equally valuable. I have been told that Lord Duveen once offered him a partnership. Admittedly he is a first-rate authority on Byzantine and Saracenic art.
Sir Ronald is a cousin of Lord Brownlow."

I am sure I read somewhere that Storrs lost his personal archives relating to his stay in Palestine and earlier when Government House in Cyprus burnt down.
For his book, "Orientations", he had to reconstruct events largely from letters written to his parents in England. Dori1951 ( talk) 18:31, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
