Gents,

JRT,

Have you returned from across the Channel or have you become part of it? Not like you to risk your neck with so many parties coming up. Or perhaps the thought of being drawn into a clinch under the mistletoe by Olga is enough to send the veriest novice away on a derring-do mission with a one-way ticket...what!

This jolly inscription on a sheep stealer's headstone...

'Here lies the body of Thomas Kemp,
He lived by wool and died by hemp.'


'Find your enemy and shoot him down - everything else is unimportant.'

Manfred von Richtofen
