"Manners maketh man" A short tale.

Speaks volumes ( pun intended ).

[Sylvain VAN DER WALDE]

I'm 71, and my memory recall is unreliable. However, a few books come to mind: "The three musketeers" and other books by the same author (Alexandre Dumas ?); the various "Maigret" books, by George Simenon; "The devil rides out" and other Devil worship books (I can't remember the author's name); books by Edgar Wallace, and so on...

There is possibly a valid reason for this, but I'm unwilling to discuss it. Anyway, I've plenty of other things to occupy my time.

Ok, some time ago then. BTW 71 isn't especially old these days.

Are you at all interested in rediscovering the delights you enjoyed so many years ago? I believe it's worth it, and you used to.

Not really. :) Among other things, I keep a few Orchids, and some cage birds (2 canaries, and an African finch). I'm very fond of small mammals, and little birds.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Phil L" saying something like:

Fuck off and shove your oversensitive PC radar up your arse.
