A year or so back, somebody here (possibly Dr, Hyde?) mentioned the use of
egg shells as one possible antidote to poisoned fish in _The Fall of the Towers_[1]. I said that I didn't think that there was such a thing.

I'm currently rereading it, and ground egg shells (or other high-calcium
foods) are prominently mentioned in Maj. Tomar's bulletin regarding the
public health emergency caused by the barbitide-poisoned fish.

My apologies.

In my case it's more revision rather than retraction, but please accept
my apologies for acting so adamant about an exclusively Baconian writers
group behind Shakespeare. A Thomist recently convinced me of a crypto-
Catholic strain in Shakespeare's slush pile. And, after admission of the camel's nose, all of the rest soon follow: Dr Dee, de Vere, Marlowe,
Stanley, ...
Long story short, it now makes sense for suspected plagiarist
Shakespeare to simply snatch up plays left anonymously on his doorstep
under cover of night. An aristocratic risqu‚ play, so to speak, for the waggishly bored.

Shakespeare's what they call "evergreen" in the Anglo world. He's always fashionable among actors. For instance, these actors promise to present
all plays in two hours:

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)(revised)(again) <https://bushnell.org/shows-concerts/the-complete-works-of-william-shakespeare-abridged>

Allow me to share my own creative idea for a play under the Shakespeare nom-de-plume. It's working title is POMO SHAKESPEARE. Actors will love
it.
The jottings in THE PROMUS OF FORMULARIES AND ELEGANCIES by Bacon:

<https://sirbacon.org/downloads/aphoenix/THE%20PROMUS%20NOTEBOOK.pdf>

serve as its sole script. My adaptation enables actors to bombastically
belt out bon mots free from filler. The tedious speech-making between witticisms is effectively excised.

It was almost the only thing I recalled from the trilogy. Perhaps it
struck me as an unusual example of a government official doing something useful in SF. And in a very matter-of-fact style, too.

There are a number of works from which I recall one line. I recently rewatched the movie, "Otley", from which I recalled only:

"Three years ago I won the Duke of Edinburgh's Award for lethargy".

Despite it being a very funny movie.
