Reverted Phipps back to Thipps, and inquiry to enquiry

[edit]

Without wishing to be over-protective, I have reverted these two edits to my original version. The architect's name is Thipps, not Phipps - I have checked against a printed copy of the text before reverting, and Thipps is correct. And the article is written in UK English, not US, and therefore "enquiry" is acceptable, rather than "inquiry". --Karenjc 23:54, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Circumcision

[edit]

I do not know why there seemed to be a fight over circumcision. There's no reason to leave indignant comments about it - it's obvious from the text that Parker is alluding to the fact that the deceased can't be Sir Reuben because Sir Reuben was born to observant Jews and the corpse wasn't circumcised. --NellieBly (talk) 02:28, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More than start class

[edit]

The section on Literary significance is excellent, pulling together several sources about Sayers and this first novel. I did not write that section; I have read it and one of the sources as well, and learned a lot. - - Prairieplant (talk) 23:49, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier cover image

[edit]

Might this here be a source for an earlier first edition cover? The one used is 1936, 13 years later, and is UK when US was first publisher. - - Prairieplant (talk) 14:00, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
