“Rumpole, you must move with the times."

'What's the trouble?'

― Paradise Postponed

“Writing about the indignities of old age: the daunting stairway to the restaurant restroom, the benefits of a wheelchair in airports and its disadvantages at cocktail parties, giving the user what he described as a child's-eye view of the party and a crotch-level view of the guests.

― The Summer of a Dormouse
