G.K. Chesterton was a large man, given to sitting in his club by himself, not encouraging any other member to approach.

“And what shall you call it? The baby, I mean?”
Chesterton regarded Churchill carefully. Then he said: “If it is a boy I shall call him Gerald. If a girl, I shall call her Katharine, after Katharine Parr, whom I admire. But if, as I suspect, it is all piss and wind I shall call it after you.”
