Casebook Examiner No. 4 (October 2010)

[protohistorian]

Thank You Robert, that makes post 13 clearer. Being in Kansas I am handicapped in many and substantial ways. Dave

Any thoughts on the new issue? I think it's amazing.

Yours truly,

Hey, I've just been promoted to sergeant! (Mainly thanks to posting lots and lots of dumb newbie questions.) I feel different already, like people should respect me more, dammit.

The herbs by Thomas Michael Bond (not James Bond). But you know what? Before you feel impressed, I ought to admit that I checked in Wikipedia.

Parsley was a lion.

This will be of significance only to British posters of a certain age.

Regards,

Hello, Lynn. Thanks for the hints. Now I get it. You're the true gentleman of Ripperology, helping out the lyrically challenged “damsels in distress“. Naturally I knew the ballad in question, but had forgotten about the verse listing Italian condiments! By the way, I LOVED it when they made fun of this ballad in Lost in translation.
Now, what all this has to do with Examiner 4 is still a mystery.

are you going?

Hello Maria. To get understanding, I counsel thee to hie thee to Scarborough. Fair enough?

Cheers.

OK, but who's Rosemary (Clooney?) and who's Parsley? (The dude who wrote the book with Barnett as a suspect? Almost...)

[Tom_Wescott]

Scott Nelson is the sage of Whitechapel, to be found on the River Thymes.

Yours truly,

OK, that's too cryptic for me. Too newbie to get it?

[Scott Nelson]

"seasons of the case"

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.

What bet?

**** stirring? Moi? I hardly think so. It's not required in Tumblety world, where the **** never has time to settle. Perhaps you have me confused with Jeff Leahy, who can be seen invading John Bennett's private space in the latest edition of Ripperologist.

According to Simon, a researcher (not Simon himself) has made a discovery which will render RJ's likely conclusions in Part 3 null and void. I'm hoping this discovery will come to light in the wake of publication of RJ's final chapter, and we can see if it lives up to what Simon says.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Oh, I'll take that bet.
