The world, as you experience it, is a simulation running inside your skull, a waking dream.The only way they are going to change their mind is by changing their own mind-by talking themselves through their own thinking, by processing things they’ve never thought about before, things from their own life that are going to help them see things differently. There is no superior argument, no piece of information that we can offer, that is going to change their mind.All the materialistic things are just loaned to you. Just find happiness with someone, and you’ve got it made.

Just as with Holmes’ “death” at the Reichenbach Falls, the story doesn’t end there. Sadly, in the last story of this volume an arrest is made. Watson often opines that if Holmes ever turned to crime he would be uncatchable. I suppose one could explore the inner meaning of our delight how we all yearn to be the bad guy, revel in the thrill of flouting authority, need to unchain the old Id once in a while. Raffles and Bunny play fair they eschew violence and, in spite of Bunny’s regular attacks of nerves, go about their larcenous activities lightheartedly, as if it were just another match on the playing fields of Eton. ![]() One critic has called them, "dark, morally uncertain, yet convincingly, reassuringly English." It’s that last part that makes them so palatable. The Raffles-Bunny stories would still be delightful well-crafted, well-written and, in this instance, superbly read. Say there was no Arthur Conan Doyle, no Holmes-Watson stories-no model for the author of Raffles to stand on its head for his own purposes. Ok, say these stories weren’t penned by Arthur Conan Doyle’s brother-in-law. ![]() ![]() ![]() Margaret Rutherford (Miss Marple), Robert Morley (Hector Enderby), Flora Robson (Miss Milchrest), Charles Tingwell (Inspector Craddock), Stringer Davis (Mr.Stringer), Duncan Lamont (Hillman), Katya Douglas (Rosamund Shane), James Villiers (Michael Shane), Robert Urquhart (George Crossfield), Gordon Harris(Sergeant Bacon) po romanu: „Posle sahrane“ (After The Funeral) Film – Murder Most Foul -1964 ![]() Margaret Rutherford (Miss Marple), Arthur Kennedy (Dr.Quimper), Muriel Pavlow (Emma), James Robertson Justice (Ackenthorpe), Charles Tingwell (Craddock), Ronald Howard (Eastley), Thorley Walters (Cedric), Ronnie Raymond (Alexander), Stringer Davis (Mr.Stringer), Joan Hickson (Mrs.Kidder) po romanu: „U 4.50 sa stanice Pedington“ (4:50 from Paddington) Film – Murder at the Gallop – 1963 Gracie Fields (Jane Marple), Jessica Tandy (Letitia Blacklock), Roger Moore (Patrick Simmons), Betty Sinclair (Dora Bunner), Josephine Brown (Miss Murgatroyd), Pat Nye (Miss Hinchcliffe), Malcolm Kuin(Inspector Craddock) Po romanu: Najavljeno ubistvo (A Murder is Announced) ![]() ![]() Film – „Najavljuje se ubistvo“ (A Murder is Announced), 1956(USA) ![]() ![]() ![]() Ellie Mae Griggs-Heart is trying to escape, trying to find a place where she can finally be 'home'.
