Hey guys can you answer these for me.
Improve the euphony of the following sentences:—

1. This brings me to the question— the most important of all— of the final aims of British policy in the Far East.

2. So it is that I must be forced to get home partly by stealth and partly by force.

@samsome123,
Euphony,,,,my, my my! With your (appropriately-chosen) large vocabulary, you can teach me English.

Both sentences are appropriate.

What the **** are the British up to in the Far East?

2. So it is that I must be forced to get home partly by stealth and partly by force.

I'm off home, sneakily, with a big **** off mallet.
