(Parts One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, and Ten.)

If I'd known nagging would work, I would have done it much sooner. makes note.

Wonderful. Now I have to re-read as I didn't recall Rumpole being able to cast a charm.

Oh, great! I was totally unaware of this WIP, but now I'm going to savour it from the beginning.

Just read everything, and it's superb! I'm so glad Tudorpot nagged you into continuing, and I fully intend to join in the nagging. More, please? Pretty please?

Ah, so are you a Rumpole fan, too? Excellent!

I had heard about Rumpole (from Tudorpot, I think) but I have never yet read a Rumpole book. However, I am now a fan, thanks to you, and I'm pretty sure I'll read the books. Your Snape is superb, too - I remember a passage, in part 2, I think, about his "gravedigger eyes" and his voice of "vitriol and silk". Must go back to reread.

Rumpole is well worth knowing. His character got its start from a TV series, where he was played by Leo McKern:
