There are a lot of crime novels in existance.

most of them don't have 'don' in the title though I can only think of two, Landscape With Dead Dons and Don Among The Dead Men

I am sure there are more

One would think so

But would one thank so?

it might depend on who so was, what he had done for one and what he might do for one.

Perhaps so is selfish and has done nothing for one and is unlikely ever to do something to aid another

in that case it might amuse on to thank him sarcastically

I shall discover so, discover so's nature, and then possibly thank so.

how do you intend to hensure that you discover so?

Either by census or by bullying, although they amount to similar things.

i thought last year's census was rubbish - just a handwritten note demanding a photo of our john thomas. but you have to complete the census, it's the law, so what can you do?

Break the law?

i daren't

for fear of punishment?
