Welcome to another edition of the Bob Cats Newsletter. It's night time in the big city and Thomas and Judith de Quiney in attire and regalia to a tee amount a black steed and a grey mare trot off and on sidetracked in the heavy traffic. A street car named Bedale Barracks cruise downtown packed to the rim with tourist from the s/s Savannah. A band of English foxhounds repose outside The Black Swan munching pork’n apple sausages and French fries by the door with the occasional wow at passing strangers, honking vehicles and a distant horn. In the Lincoln room of The Saint James Hotel, Cornwell, actor of yore, aged and ripe, kicks around the concept of London with Richard III Pendergrass, heir of Templeton, souvenirs, subjects and such with a fox licking their boots. Outside in the street Boris Bellini, Charles Chutney and little Danny Delores skate along on roller blades. ••• NEWS FLASH “TONY GARNIER IS PLAYING THE BASS GUITAR.
