The Speedicut Papers Book 8 (1895-1900)
Christopher Joll
Book 8 of The Speedicut Papers is primarily concerned
with Speedicut's involvement with the young Winston Churchill
on the North-West Frontier of India, in the Sudan at the Battle of
Omdurman and in the Second Boer War, during which Speedicut is captured
along with Churchill. When not acting as nursemaid to Britain's future
greatest Prime Minister, Speedicut plays a central role, invariably
with disastrous consequences, in the notorious Jameson Raid,
Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and the assassination
of the Empress of Austria.
"Speedicut's opinions on the great figures of our time
give a whole new meaning to the word iconoclast..."
Dr Samuel Johnson
"If all the men and women Speedicut slept with were laid end to end,
I wouldn't be at all surprised."
Dorothy Parker
"In defeat, defiance; in victory, magnanimity; in peace, goodwill -
except where that shit, Speedicut, is concerned."
Winston S Churchill
