...reveal what he or she knows of the death. On the surface, as the curtain rises, the Priestley puzzle-pieces are good companions. They are not when the final curtain rings down. The cast of this extremely talky but interesting tour de force includes Colin Keith-Johnston (the terrier-like Captain Stanhope of Journey's End) and caustic, statuesque Jean Dixon (Once In A Lifetime, June Moon...

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, his lame legs stretched out before him, official duties forgotten, leaned back and listened happily. At his feet was his Scotch terrier, Megs. Nearby hovered his wife Anna.

Snip, the previous Cairn, was an affectionate beast who whimpered outside the royal bedroom all the time King George lay gravely ill three years ago, and accompanied His Majesty to almost everything except the state openings of Parliament. Snip died in April. Mourned by the royal household and the nation, he was buried in Sandringham by the side of Edward VII's dog Caesar who had the distinction of preceding the Kaiser...
