So glad you liked the Story Of Alice . There were no reference footnotes because it was all my own research as a local historian and Carroll admirer. Yes Christ Church is a wonderful place. My husband was Treasurer of Christ Church and his rooms looked over Alice's garden . In many ways the donnish creatures hadn't changed much since Carroll's days and I suppose you might say with Humpty Dumpty 'You've been listening at doors- and behind trees- and down chimneys - or otherwise you couldn't have known it' Mavis Batey.

Collins did think it was a stupid idea but was overruled by the cabinet.He refused to allow his own men "the squad" to be tasked with being inside the customs house and insisted they were tasked with perimeter security to ensure they could more easily escape.Some of them were still captured however.While the attack was a disaster, politically it was a success as it broke the will of the british much in the same vein as the viet cong "tet offensive" did to the americans
