The Brothers Karryimoff
F a Spitfire pilot flying over enemy country has to take his crate down to fix engine trouble, it is pleasant for him to have a brother in the same squadron who lands beside him to help. It ig even more pleasant for the third brother-a prisoner in enemy hands-that his gang of slave workers should happen to be passing the spot at this very minute, that the guatds should fa#l to notice the two Spitfires, and that he should be rescued with a minimum of shouting and shooting. Thus the premier of 1ZB’s new episodic serial, "Footsteps of Fate." The link in the serial is to be a blind man sitting in a window divining »people’s emotions from their passing footsteps. In this case one did+not need the acute hearing of the blind to notice the difference between the footsteps of Mr. Semple (for such was his name) as he dragged along worrying about his p.o,w. son, and- his loud gallop as he tushed past to ring the church bells with the good news of the rescue in his hand. It is no use jibbing at fiction of this kind, when truth is (as it is said) even stranger; no use, either, wondering about what happened at the next vestry meeting which would have to deal with Mr. Semple’s personal use of the church bells. |
