AtD: "Mad Dog' Bertie.

[Mark Kohut]

We know what TRP thinks of Noel Coward, but we also need an essay---Ish, is
there one?---on TRP and 'madness' in his fiction. We are still thinking
about that former asylum, The White Visitation
*In Hong Kong, they strike a gong, and fire off a noonday gun**To reprimand
each inmate who's in late.*
