I remember #Adare in 1996. Det. Jerry McCabe from #Limerick from our an Garda Síochána gunned down in cold blood. I have zero sympathy & only disgust & distain with anyone sympathising with or glorifying this movement. @dohville

After the death of her husband and son, former French empress Eugénie moved to Farnborough Hill, a cavernous mansion. During the First World War, she turned it into a hospital for convalescing soldiers. Here she is pictured with the woman who helped run it, Lady Haig, wife of the Field Marshal.

The art of the re-write. John le Carré and Len Deighton. From the memoirs of editor Robert Gottlieb.

As a copy editor and proofreader, I sympathize. I am quite Tyr'd a lot of the time, too. Perhaps you could proofread the book for yourself as you read it?
