Interesting theory! Any other ideas, folks?

No, don't speedread! Enjoy, savour, take delight in smart phrasing and
delicious by-words that only on second glance reveal their beauties!
D.o.n.'t. rush yerself, esp. with so delightful a fare as Adventures of
Gerard! Read no more than one adventure per day, or you'll feel really
sorry. Anyhow you're free to read that book again (and again and again).
>Thanks for all the efforts in bringing (free) books to the masses (+2000).
You're most welcome, sir! Where you're located, Les - Zaire? Africa - makes
me think of all the Quatermain-tales I haven't read yet...
Regards,
That man 'Kasko.
