    First, it's PHROSO (not "Fossau")

    Second, perhaps you feel you know this author's name ...

    Do Prisoner of Zenda and Rupert of Hentzau ring a bell?  :>)

      I know my author Anthony Hope Hawkins.  I always get blamed for the typos, LOL, I might just as well write my own blurbs.  This one was copied off the net LOL.  ---------------------------------------  Rick

      One thing I have learned from the internet is to take nothing for granted that you read and declare no source infallible.  ------------------------------  Rick
