Wasn't That A Line From Rumpole.... Message #5 Posted by I, Claudius on 8 Sept 2005, 10:44 p.m., in response to message #1 by Artur - Brasil "She Who Must Be Obeyed." Wasn't that the description from the Brit show Rumpole of The Bailey used to call his wife? Are they showing reruns of that down in Brazil? Great show, loved it.

Re: Wasn't That A Line From Rumpole.... Message #6 Posted by Les Bell on 8 Sept 2005, 11:25 p.m., in response to message #5 by I, Claudius And Horace Rumpole, in turn, got it from H. Rider Haggard. Or at least, John Mortimer did. IIRC, it was even made into a horror flick: "She". Best, --- Les [http://www.lesbell.com.au]
