Good to see you, Remus. I'll have a look for the items you mentioned when I'm in Torquay on Friday. I should have time to pop a parcel in the post before I head north.
And, oh! I've just remembered the name! (It's not at all a good sign when one begins losing names just as they're on the tip of one's tongue. If I go dotty by Christmas, you can tell them all you saw it coming.)
Posthumous Gimlet.
He's the one whose sister's a near neighbour to an old friend of mine up in Heslington. The way I heard it, he's over the moon to have been offered the post. I hope so. And I hope he knows what he's about, teaching. I don't look forward to patching up his casualties if he can't manage his pupils properly in a laboratory.
