        Rip's impressions

        A straight forward drama with plenty of irony and tragic humour.

        first line

        He was an inch, perhaps two, under six feet, powerfully built, and he advanced straight at you with a slight stoop of the shoulders, head forward, and a fixed from-under stare which made you think of a charging bull.

        last lines
