LORNA DOONE programming - this was probably held at the ADMIRAL'S house - either in the MALVERNS which I strongly suspect...or in EXMORE.

Anyway, TOMLINSON had requested it to cement his 'love relationship' with MARTINE. MARTINE loved playing LORNA DOONE.

Somebody had left the Penguin softback on a display in teh library the other day - bottom righthand corner...I flicked through...remembered the BLOOD ON THE ALTER scene (GILL had a sort of sack of blood which MARK R released under his wedding gown during the marriage to TOMLINSON)...i wish I had more time to write about all of this because it was really quite amusing in a very sick sort of way...

Check out the Penguin edition and the cover illustration of a sort of 'VULCAN PRINCESS' in green...with pointy ears...LORNA DOONE:
