Was Stride Really a JtR Victim?

[Jon Guy]

In another life I was a translator/occasional interpreter. It is not an exact science. Schwarz could well have said "cried out" and the interpreter translated it as "screamed". The former makes more sense, as I see it.

Yes, I agree.

It`s almost like the translator is searching for the English word for scream not very loudly

[Jon Guy]

It is a theory book. He spends much time discussing "The Star" and their role in the "Autumn of Terror."

Ah, I see. Cheers Lynn.

If I may say a word

voluminous reply

Hello Jon. Thanks.

"Yes. It is possible to scream at different levels of volume, just as we can shout at various volume levels."

Quite. But ALL volumes for a scream are loud.

Cheers.

Only because we all project differently. All screams will be loud just at different decibels...unless someone is choking you.

Indeed Mike. My gut feeling is he was swinging around her by her scarf.

Hi Lynn

Professor Cook covered this in his book. The two entities were bitter enemies. Send it to yourself--suspect whom? But send it to CNA . . .

Which is Cook`s book?
Is it a reference book or a theory book?

[The Good Michael]

Yes. It is possible to scream at different levels of volume, just as we can shout at various volume levels.

Hi Lynn

Ah, standard form. Very well. But not loud?

Yes. It is possible to scream at different levels of volume, just as we can shout at various volume levels.

Imagine you`re directing Fay Wray arriving on Skull Island when one of the natives jumps out on her and you ask her to scream.
The next day you`re directing her again, this time it`s the scene where Kong appears for the first time and you ask her to SCREAM.

But, as has been mentioned in this thread, we`re reading a Hungarian translation, and not a short essay by Dickens.

There's an account somewhere that mentions reporters hanging around inside the police station(s) waiting by the desk to pick up on conversations.

Thanks Jon.

I also remember another account where the newspaper is comparing the City Police with the Met with regard to helpfulness towards tthe press. The press were literally asking the Desk Sergeant for news.

[Wickerman]

When Schwartz walked out of Leman Police station early on Sunday evening after giving his statement to the police.
I guess the Star had a reporter hanging around outside Leman St Police station following developments.

Ha ha!

Instinct is important for an investigator.

So it maybe, but an historian uses evidence and there are certain quite simple but universally accepted standards for evaluating and using sources. I stick to those.

Precisely why I am interested. You can't blame a fella for trying can ya? Do you have a favourite colour?

Ich schlafe.

Hello Michael.

At my age, "bed" indicates only one operation.

mending language

Hello Caroline. Thanks.

"Yet you can't get from three not very loud screams to a bit of squealing?"

The problem for me is a "not loud scream". Something there is that doesn't love an oxymoron.

Cheers.
