The Devil’s Acre. Matthew Plampin

      ‘People may differ about matters of opinion, or even about religion; but how can they differ about right and wrong? Right is right; and wrong is wrong; and if a man cannot distinguish them properly, he is either a fool or a rascal: that’s all.’

      George Bernard Shaw, Major Barbara, Act I

      ‘I will tell nobody what I supply my arms for. If you want to buy, and say you will buy ten thousand of them, and will give me a fair price, you can have them today.’

      Samuel Colt, from the minutes of the Select Committee on Small Arms
