Interesting what flotsam and jetsam one files away, X. I had remembered that bit about Cowper, wondering if the soldiers of the Eighth Army had in fact been thinking of his The Castaway even while they wagered over the more insignificant question of pronounciation.

But as to my question, of what was Tolkien speaking when he said, Many people dislike being arrested? And where did he make his remark?
