Thanks, boxtops and the Builder I'm afraid,in my ignorance, I haven't come across either of these before. Carmalee I can assure you I did google 2 Are you taking into account the 'he murmured'?

boxtops

The ones I found, I cut and pasted the whole quotation into the search box, with speech marks round it - they came up straight away. Can't find the others yet, though!

carmalee
