Riposte

Sir: In her riposte (September . 28) in connection with Kenneth Robinson's review of her book Dark Corridor, Denise Robins uses that cynical old wisecrack about "laughing all the way to the bank." She thus tries to make the point that her tired housewives daydream romances must be better than serious critics think they are because they bring in lots of lolly for her. Has she never heard of a non sequitur? William Slater 1 Caxton Road, William Slater 1 Caxton Road, Fallowfield, Manchester
