Taking
over the accounts of Amalgamated Sugars and International Flavorings,
we welcome Mr. Hendrick Vorster to the City of London this year.
Utilising the gentlemans Southern Africa investment contacts
and banking associates has been fruitful for both Behrens and
his clients. An imposing figure, Mr. Vorster instills confidence
with his quiet authority on Investment Opportunities. His advice
is only equaled by his apparent prowess on the green, giving
your humble reporter a run for his money (and excellent tip
regarding gold) on the Gleneagles fairway...

...representing
Mr. Slaymor, on behalf of the esteemed legal firm Arriman and
Deckans, was the young Mr. Oliver Black. Surely he and his firm
could not be more pleased with the outcome. Mr. Black left the
jury in no doubt of his clients unavoidable malady of the mind
and pitiable psychoses. Blacks' touching and heartfelt words
for this gentle giant, a brilliant mind driven only to violence
by the ignorance of others, gave the twelve assembled no recourse

Fiction has Roots in Reality:
I recently had the pleasure to view the latest offering from
the typewriter of Captain Edmund Leighton. The story, "Last
Post" (set during the retreat from Mons in '14), had me
fearful of the very arms of morpheus. Leighton eases the reader
with comfortable subject matter and location while hinting at
darker forces observing from the shadows who's oily grip is
but a slow slide into dementia away. Though Leighton is blind,
he paints a vivid picture of terror as if damned himself by
this haunting imagery. We await with expectation what his forthcoming
book will unearth...

| Lord
Arthur Christian |
 |
|
One
voice of possible reason does echo in the darkness. Lord Arthur
Christian, philanthropist and one of the few members of the
House of Lords actively supporting the fledgling Labour party,
rose to his feet to declaim his fellow peer. As voice for the
people of the West Yorkshire wool trade, he beat his stick against
the bench in front of him and made his position perfectly clear
to all. This is not the first time that Lord Arthur has spoken
so strongly for the common man and this recent outburst can
only add to his friends in the dock yards of the capital and
the mills of the black country.
