Charlezzzzz, and now you have done with Jack's father all together in the Grand Tradition of Strange Parentage in POB........... Bravo! Does this make Jack and Stephen lost boys? Julie, muddying the waters ---------- And, harking back to both biographies of POB, he certainly had a strange father.

192 GRP RD: BATM, No rabbits left -- rank: 633

In BATM, we get an update on the enclosure movement, wch supplied much activity in Yellow Admiral. On page 67 of my Norton hard cover edition, POB tells us: "Fortunately neither Cousin Edward's nor the Aubrey land had ever been enclosed, so the villagers and outlying cottagers, together with their returning sons and younger brothers, got along moderately well in the traditional way: it is true that Jack's game dwindled strangely; but on a nearby estate, which had been subjected to ri ...

194 GRP RD: BATM When did it happen? -- rank: 633

On page 13 of the Norton hardbound BATM, Admiral Kieth is talking to Jack:   He considered for a while, sipping his glass of Plymouth gin, and then said, 'But I must tell you what an excellent young man you have in William Reade. He handled his schooner admirably, and he did everything I asked. But I am afraid you must have missed him sadly when you had to make the mole, and when you hoped to identify the villain.' 'We did, sir: but what really grieves me is that I find that as the comma ...
