    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Lovely choice OP.
    Get some pretty red wrapping paper or bag to match with some ribbons to make it special.

    I'm all excited now to hear what reaction you get. Good luck :j

    Typical -

    I go to get it and someone else has brought it.

    They have ordered another one in though - but I have to wait a week now.

    Paid for it now though so they dont sell this one!
