This time through The Nine Tailors (I do seem to be on a Sayers kick, don’t I) Your Humble Blogger was really interested in the architecture of the church at Fenchurch St. Paul. And, of course, in their 12th Century baptismal font, “whose carvings were certainly curious and, to [Lord Peter’s] mind, suggestive of a symbolism neither altogether Christian nor altogether innocent.” The two soldiers struggling? Cat and mouse? Temple sacrifice? Or something else... Hmmmm.
Oh, and somebody gets killed. You know.
Oh, and it doesn’t show up on HarperCollins’s search along with the other Dorothy Sayers books. Could they have let this one go out of print, but kept making copies of The Five Red Herrings? What sense does that make?
Thank you,
