A close friend has told me that my plotting
does not compare with that of Marcel Proust, nor my characterisations with
those of Dostoyevsky. But he assures me it is otherwise a decent novel. He

and packing, send you any number of copies of The Column of Phocas

desire. I will even get Mrs Gabb to gift wrap them.
