An Anthology of Humour: Revised Edition
How will Linda Fitznightingale respond to Colonel Green´s serenade in the quite summer evening of Park Lane? Will she climb out the window, like the fiery young Spanish beauty Pilar, to go and live with her lover´s parents? And what about the little man eating yet another fried egg in the London tea-shop: when will he pay for his food? What will happen now, when the great criminal Flambeau has at last been cornered, by Father Brown and the head of the Paris police, under a tree on Hampstead Heath? And how will Alfred Thimblepenny get rid of the fiery halo that has suddenly appeared aroung his head? The answers are all in this book. These stories are set in the days when a London bus had seats both inside and outside, when a point of honour was still almost a matter of life and death in Spain, and when in Ireland a shilling was worth at least a shilling
