In Simple Spymen, Franklyn said to Rix that they'd need disguises: "A moustache on the top lip and a beard on the bottom." Aetat seven, when I was taken to see the piece, I thought life could have no more to offer, and alas, fifty-something years later it still makes me laugh. But does anyone have a copy of the text to enable me to quote it here? Tim riley (talk) 21:12, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Happily the British Library obliged, and I have incorporated the immortal line (correctly quoted, not mangled by memory as above) is in a new article on Simple Spymen. Tim riley (talk) 15:08, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
