THE QUEEN'S ENGLISH
Sir.-When listening to Professor Arnold Wall a few evenings ago, I was astonished to hear him say that someone had written to him complaining that in his talks on the Queen’s English he had ridiculed the Irish. I find it hard to believe that any Irish person wrote this. How could they? Professor Wall has had no more attentive listener than myself since his talks began, and no more sensitive ear for slights. Never once has he been anything but courteous when mentioning Ireland.
