4 with broken, jagged bottles stuck in cement on the top of the wall - to discourage all but the intrepid burglar, who will hardly be denied anywhere. I noted this sort of wall around Dingley Dell, Dickens' old house near Chatham - crossed out Rochester. At Rochester, close by the famous cathedral, there is the Dickens Museum which I visited one Sunday afternoon. Chatham and Rochester run into one another, I might add. At the Bull Inn, mentioned in Pickwick Papers, we saw a red-nosed parson with an apprehensive look, taking treatments for his rouge nez, almost exactly as described in the account by Dickens of the vicar who used to go there in Sam Weller's time.
You may wonder what brought all this on, well I'll tell you that when you meet an Irishman of any kind who loves the beautiful
things and the kindly people of England, he's a man that's been there! I can remember a Mike Joyce and a Pat Cleary, both from Ireland, who would go into ecstasies on the least excuse ^on this subject - just as underlined: You Know Who. I'm sure O'Casey is not unhappy at living there, nor was G.B.S., nor Wilde (before his trial) and England loved them. Thanks & Best Wishes - Mead
