John Radcliffe asks for source of Stalky's Browning quotation. I found it
in my well thumbed Wavell - Other Men's Flowers - at Part I Stanza VI of
WARING:
Ichabod, Ichabod
The glory is departed!
...
Wavell's notes identify Waring as Alfred Domett who went to New Zealand,
became Premier. The Kremlin incident he presumes refers to the murder of
the half-crazy Paul, son of Catherine the Great and Wavell goes on to give
the Stalky connection.
