Guten Tag, ja - You've been very sharp of late; particularly with those fictional characters and your "David Balfour" to get the ball rolling. I worked very hard to get "Oliver Mellors" and join (what I thought was) quite an illustrious group of ABers!

It was a rather challenging quiz and still unfinished, as far as I know!

Gratias Ago Tibi Croftus . . . and full marks for 'Oliver Mellors' (some gamekeepers get all the luck!). I've left another posting on 'Cryptic Characters' - would welcome your opinion. ja

Regarding Oliver Mellors - he wouldn't get much of his language past the AB censors!
