Cheers to you, Mrs. P. - thank you so much! ^_____^

This is so great ^___^ I think my very favourite bit is:

A swiftly wielded truncheon, and a back swing from a Gladstone bag;
Some deftly placed baritsu moves; a brolly neatly struck;
A hound and two Irregulars, a match for any fleeing foe;
A cab turned round to block the road; that's really all it took...

All the characters are so clearly identifiable from their chosen methods of attack ^___^
