As if in response, two figures on another page fling themselves into a dithyrambic dance, arms scything and legs lunging ... but on the brochure's back page Lewis finally calls a halt to tall this frenetic activity with a stern figure who brandishes his commanding arm as imperiously as a warrior directing a battle."
