SIR,—I wonder what Miss E. Arnot Robertson —(' Torment for

Authors,' March 26th)— would make of the following sentence, over- heard in a bus by a friend of mine: " I washed it for her when she was born and I washed it for her again when she was married; if she thinks I'm going to wash it for her again, she's wrong."—Yours faithfully, IAN MAIN 68 Overstrand Mansions, Prince of Wales Drive, S,W.11
