it is, especially when one realises when BS was born and when PW died

Well, Brian Sewell was born 15 July 1931; Peter Warlock died 17 December 1930 [aged 36] - so not impossible

The last few pages are hilarious

Congrats to Flay for providing the vehicle for such amusement Truly pleasurable things for the weekend.

Struggling to focus on finding the answer though

And would someone please explain all this Sewell-Warlock stuff!

I did, ages ago. Brian Sewell is the love child of Peter Warlock, conceived two months before Warlock died.

I missed it (is it somewhere up-thread here?)! Sorry! And.... wtf !?!??! Is that documented fact??!?!

Yes, it appears so. Sewell's Ma and young Brian lived with Warlock's Ma (his (Warlock's) given name is Heseltine of course, Welsh, Montgomeryshire, not sure if Michael Heseltine is involved!) for some years before being booted out with an annuity as Warlock Ma had to care for legitimate Warlock child.

Edit: But I am further foward with Flay's puzzle!

Oh, French Letters?

getting there. Now, in what *situation* would these letters generally be used?

(stands back cringing)

Obviously in diplomatic relations between France and England.
Honestly, at the mo, I do not know and now offline for a few hours. I leave it to others ....

Not in a public situation (hopefully)

Well, I now do find there is Leoš Janáček String Quartet No. 2, "Intimate Letters" Could that be it? Of course, I have quite forgot what the question is!

I've forgotten what letter we're on!

[Anna]

I've forgotten what letter we're on!

Is it Tuesday already, and are we in Belgium?

If it is Janacek, then one of the the others is Cunning little Vixen I think. Crime of Passion could be Jenufa. I really am offline now. I

well done Anna! 2 out of 3

The crime of passion might just relate to another work similar to the 2nd quartet

[Norfolk Born]

Not 'Jig-Jig' then?

[Flay]

Not 'Jig-Jig' then?

No! [phew emoticon] It is the theme of another work by said J. Got to hurry you. . .
