He looks mad to me now! I like the daft rag dolls sitting in the chair next to him - one playing bagpipes by the look of it. http://www.sundaypost.com/postindex.htm

| 5. A certain gentleman by the name of Pine-Coffin visited the hotel my |
|
in-laws owned.
Whether it was the good colonel or not, I don't know. A Pine-Coffin also wrote a hauntingly beautiful translation of The Confessions of Saint Augustine, which I think was published by Penguin. But that name has you in stitches all right, until you get used to it.
