#71: in London there is the Temple, wherein rests the body of the Greatest Knight of his time: William the Marshal. The Temple has already been ravaged, first during the Reformation, then the Blitz (which by the way did a marvellous job of slum clearance.)

Anyway, the trouble with this weakling silly Britain, reduced to tattiness, is that it has had such a magnificent history.

Thus, I would be so sorry to see it blown up. On the other hand, William the Marshal might disagree with me there. He was a proud, responsible man who was an excellent warrior.
