SPECTATOR COMPETITION No. 103

Set by N. Hodgson

In her Benefits Forgot Miss G. B. Stern writes that she found the following entry in one of her rough notebooks, but is quite unable to attach any meaning to it : ".. . would be wrong from the point of view of the deeply disappointed hostesses, as it would look as though they had minded and badgered S. into making a fuss." A prize of £5, which may be divided, is offered for an extract from the unwritten novel, solving the mystery. Not more than 200 words.

Entries must be addressed to the Spectator, 99 Gower Street, W.C.1, in envelopes marked " Competition," and must be received not later than February 13th. Results will be published in the Spectator of February 22nd.
