No. 505: Paper chase

COMPETITION

Nancy Mitford's revolution diary, published in this paper on 31 May and 7 June, suggested one way of sitting out France's three weeks of insurrection and anarchy. Competitors are in- vited to submit extracts from an imaginary diary kept during some similar civil convulsion in England; the choice of time, place and per- sona is quite unrestricted, but entries should not exceed 150 words and must be in (marked 'Competition No. 505') by 24 June.
