I APPEAR to have annoyed Mr. John Gordon by pointing

out the two blunders he made in his attack on the Spectator the week before last. Of course, the objects of his attacks do not usually have an opportunity to reply. But Mr. Gordon so far lost his sense of humour on Sunday as to hold himself up as an example of journalistic virtue. He pleaded guilty to the first blunder. The second he ignored, perhaps through lack of space. On that charitable note I close the argument.
