I'm afraid I don't have an interesting review or discussion topic, but I do have a question. A phrase from one of the Saint books has been running around in my head, but I can't remember the exact wording or what book it's in. So I'm posting here, in hopes that it might ring a bell with somebody.
There's a passage in one of the stories - and I'm 99% sure it was one of the *very* early, Saint gang-era adventures - that talks about the Saint's ritzy new apartment in London, and the fact that he doesn't have any money (at the moment) to pay for the rent, but the Saint isn't worried about it in the least. (Presumably because they'll find somebody to rob something will turn up.) The sentence I'm thinking of says something about "better to be hanged for a dead lion than a foot-and-mouth diseased lamb"...or something roughly along those lines. :P
I was certain I originally read it in Enter the Saint, but I've flipped through said book and found nothing...as well as a few other books with early Saint stories It's not life-or-death, but if it rings a bell with anyone, I'd love to know where to look!
