ReplyDeleteIt's too bad they had to kill the oldest fish in the Great Lakes to find out how old she was... But if you have to go out, go out like Lieutenant van Speijk. A full English breakfast sounds good to me, though I wonder about the beans and tomato... The Blair Adams mystery is indeed baffling; such violence at the end, and if he were killed by a stranger, surely some money and/or gold would have been taken, just because it was there. And a sedan chair? For short distances, maybe...
