Gentlemen,

I am exceedingly grateful to Z2 for this exoneration and confirmation of my pure intentions.

Also , JRT's trust in me will be perpetuated much to my heartfelt relief.

I had long since forgotten the Landlord's name but am now able to recall being puzzled to hear 'Lucy' called out so many times during that evening. I could not have been aware of his dark powers and to what extent he could use them to transform his malevolent visage into those of a charming and voluptuous barmaid. But, after so much booze anybody would have looked attractive. Nevertheless, as her beauty became more apparent with each disappearing pint, I was all the more determined to spend what was left of the night with her in Robbo's stable.

During the nocturnal gymnastics that followed, I fancied that my charming companion sported a skillfully executed tattoo of a hammer and sickle on one arm and an effigy of Stalin on the other.

I really do have a distorted imagination at times...
