            One could say that the quality of Mercia was not in the least strained!

            Equal honours to FHG and Mercia, with the clincher from M.

                You're a natural, Rossy! Do hope you stick around these puzzling precincts of the Forum!

                      Hurrah! Of course, once mercia and I discovered ladies handbags early this morning we could have blindly said Kipling and saved everyone the anguish!

                        I thought the handbags were called Keochlin... Must have mis-read. Oh well. It's not something I really need to know! (That's my story and I'm sticking to it! )

                                Did we all give this a thought in the hunt for Rossy's talkative character? I know I did - before last night, I'd NO RECOLLECTION OF EVER HAVING heard of this opera - yet here it is, popping up again!
