I like <I>Randy Lord Robert</I> - highly appropriate - but seems like it could cause confusion.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901028520813891575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21031350.post-1152747971711043542006-07-12T19:46:00.000-04:002006-07-12T19:46:00.000-04:00Devilish Lord Robert might suit, or how about Raki...<I>Devilish Lord Robert</I> might suit, or how about <I>Rakish Lord Robert</I>?

I don't know the rest of the song - and I only know those bits because it's on some 70s compilation they used to advertise on late-night TV.<BR/><BR/>Not sure about Randy Lord Robert.

Maybe <I>Randy Lord Robert</I>?<BR/><BR/>Alianor, deepest apologies for "Seasons in the Sun." I do remember other lines from the song, which I'll spare you and the rest of blogdom.<BR/><BR/>The other <I>Traitor's Wife</I>'s were written by David Montross and William Henry Williamson. The Montross one, published in 1962, is a spy novel; I think it has something to do with the Cold War. I don't know anything about the one by Williamson, which was published in 1908.Susan Higginbothamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517907583894026599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21031350.post-1152721115512449872006-07-12T12:18:00.000-04:002006-07-12T12:18:00.000-04:00I now have Seasons in the Sun going round and roun...I now have <I>Seasons in the Sun</I> going round and round in my head - or rather, the line you quote, which is the only bit of the song I know. Thanks. ;)<BR/><BR/>I didn't know there were two other novels called <I>The Traitor's Wife</I>.

One imagines that any publisher re-issuing it now would <I>have</I> to change the title. <I>Cheerful Lord Robert</I> doesn't quite cut it, though. Any advances?<BR/><BR/>One advantage of emailing somebody the Amazon page is that it saves those toe-curling moments in bookshops when you mumble the title and the assistant repeats it in ringing (if slightly incredulous) tones.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901028520813891575noreply@blogger.com
