MR. WILSON IN 'GALLERY'

Sn ,—Like Quoodle I listened to Mr. Wilson in Gal- lery. I thought that he was fluent, but noticed that, although he was never at a loss for a word, he was sometimes at a loss for the answer. His footwork was good and he side-stepped with agility, but 1 should not have thought, as Quoodle does, that he had defeated all his opponents but one. However, owing to a technical fault, my TV set at present gives no pictures, and I have to concentrate entirely on what is being said. Is this the reason why Quoodle and I give different verdicts on the result of the en- counter?
