Alas, I had hoped the Mortimer was well on the way to reviving the wonderful Rumpole. (A new Rumpole appeared last year after an excessive absence.) Now, though, with Mortimer's passing, Rumpole will also never again listen to She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed. 'Tis a said day. While I shall miss Mortimer, he has graciously left behind plenty of Rumpole to amuse and entertain me through occasional re-readings. There is hardly anything better to read than a bit of Rumpole when you want to clear your mind of useless cant (too easily accumulated when living in the 21st century). RIP Sir Mortimer. Long Live Rumpole!
