Mr Stimpson and Mr Gorse | Patrick Hamilton

Pickpick


Ralph Gorse is now 25, and still looking for ways to part fools from their money. His mark this time is the haplessly ridiculous widow Mrs Plumleigh-Bruce. We also get the equally absurd estate agent Mr Stimpson and the only slightly less ridiculous Major Parry, whose attempts at stirring war poetry are among the novel's funniest passages. The blackest of black humour.
