...defendants had been well softened beforehand and declared their "deep repentance" for their "crimes." But Father Oden Lenard astonished the court by pleading innocent. In Hungary, judges are not used to this defiance. Judge Istvan Bimbo turned to the other defendants and asked if they thought Father Lenard was guilty. All ten said yes. Then Judge Bimbo turned back to Father Lenard...
...this point, Judge Bimbo abruptly recessed the trial. He later handed down a 7½-year jail sentence for Father Lenard and terms ranging from 2½ to seven years for the other ten defendants.

...this royal advent that sets the author's characters in violent and generally entertaining motion. (The characters are named Bimbo and Bunny and Cuckoo and Buddha, as they always are in British light fiction. No one knows why, just as no one knows why characters in U.S. ladies' fiction are all named Brett and Brick and Brack and Blade.) The tizzies in which the islanders become involved may be trivial-can anyone really fret about the problems of a cuckolded duke if he is called Droopy?-but they are enjoyed by all hands, including the author...
