The chosen cast presents seventeen facets of a story which, like a plant, is in continuous growth. others have fair claims to be included, but I shall not argue about that, no, I shall peacefully agree with every critic who says i ought to have left out A and brought in B. The names Lacharme, Lambert, Lammerts, De Ruiter, Swim, Mallerin, Lens and Cant roll out like a litany in which I, as a man with written words to cry on the market place, scent another book."--Jack Harkness ; FINE/FINE.
