The canny mr Liebscher carefully sorted out those which praised mr Liebscher from those which praised Mr. Tucker. Those which praised Mr. Tucker he threw away. Those which praised mr Liebscher he printed in the next issue. He then confidentially informed us "we were slipping" and showed us the published letters to prove it.

Slan Shack has 5 rooms on the ground floor, and 3 rooms on the second. Entering the front door (which is no mean feat and requires practice) you are in the parlour. There simply is no
