   A snippet of Orwell used on the last page of the last edition of the 168   
   year old scandal sheet:   
      
   "It is Sunday afternoon, preferably before the war. The wife is already   
   asleep in the armchair, and the children have been sent out for a nice long   
   walk. You put your feet up on the sofa, settle your spectacles on your nose   
   and open the News of the World."   
      
   Checks in the post, George.
