"Death of an Airman", by Christoper St John Sprigg ================================================== London: British Library, 2015. p.41: It was Dr. Bastable's business to notice a point like that [a suspicious medical point about a death]. But Dr. Bastable had not noticed it. [EP] ... p.42: [NP] The Bishop groaned in spirit and composed his mind to the solemn English of the graveside rites [at the burial connected to that death]. Obstinately, the words flickered out of his mind as out of a fog. "Why didn't the doctor notice it?" [NP] Towards the end of the service the words stopped flickering and burned steadily. For the Bishop's eyes fell upon the unexpressive face of Dr. Bastable.
