But if you really feel that it is just petty and pointless, feel free to eviscerate it. I think it would be an interesting talking point.
I've been looking online as to whether or not Sayers is an anti-semite or not. There isn't anything definitive one way or the other. I'll read this one just to see what else pops up in it.

I did read King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard and found the racism too much to read any more of Haggard's books. I don't care for the excuse of "That's how it was back then".
