Isla Guapa,
This is from "Forever Rumpole : The Best of the Rumpole Stories".
I agree this is great fun ! |
To be more precise, it originally appeared in the second volume of Rumpole stories, The Trials of Rumpole, in "Rumpole and the Man of God". Are you a Rumpole fan too? |

I'm guessing the new Antony Beeovr book about WWII or maybe Max Hastings. |
Well done you got the author Max Hastings, the book was Bomber Command. |

sparks,
This is from Fyodor Dostoyevsky's "The Possessed". I have the English translation, but sometimes it is translated as " The Devils" or" Demons". |
