I love Zuleika, if only because it contains my all-time favorite periodic sentence ("Last of all leapt Mr. Trent-Garby, who, catching his foot in the ruined flower box, fell head-long, and was, I regret to say, killed."). But it is not my favorite Beerbohm. That would be Seven Men.

I would vote for "The Socratic manner is not a game at which two can play." also in ZD. But I agree with you that Seven Men is better.
