Reader notes

Truly an astonishing work

A splendid and enigmatic beginning. Particularly astute is the use of quotations as an element of soi disant catcalling. The threnody of phlegmatic suspicions berating the argument - soiled as it is of Immanuel Cozens is quite emphatic in its distaste for blameworthy miscreants. However, a caveat. A twinkle for this tiresome and bothersome oaf - O how I wish he would just go away and just leave us all alone - and yet here he persists stinking out the corridor and polluting the lift with his nauseating emissions. This dog-faced twittering bully is a scar on the face of anything that calls itself scholarship. I mean, look at the fellow! Look at those bulbous trousers, that shapeless face, those shoes like wet brown paper bags. And sigh. And cry. Cry for the fellows blood. A weakling who can only make it here because there are no others - only the scrambling fetid Graham, a man whose underarm stink is enough to send Jove himself scuttling back to New Zealand. Apart from whom only the weakling has-been sly-faced weasel quisling grant grabbing eternal student five-faced Maurice Owing (sic) would pretend to disagree. That is all that stands between this chap and a scrap. Expect a fracas. In Southampton Institute. In its corridors and the in staff canteen. Rolling figures, disembodied shouts. Dust flying off the seat of Roses pants. The lot. If you see the author of this abomination, please beat the chap up. Thrash him soundly. I will recompense you. With interest. A great deal of it. Because. You see. I am back. In Southampton. And this time. Its personal.
