Poul Anderson, Murder In Black Letter, 8.
Another quote from Machiavelli:
A line from The Prince came: "... it is
better to be impetuous than cautious, for fortune is a woman—"
Kintyre finds that the murdered man had scribbled "L.L." several times in the margin of the Book of Witches. He has no idea what it means. Neither have I, despite having read this novel once before. I could list the Superman supporting characters who have the initials, L.L., but Poul Anderson fans would not thank me for that.
Chapter 8 (of 20) ends with the palimpsest stolen and it is time for me to drive to the Gregson Centre (scroll down) to meet John and Kevin. England prevails!
(Lancaster for Europe meets every Wednesday in the Gregson and hogs the top table that we Englishmen (but that is not a political label) like. They are probably even more active at present.)

Kaor, Paul!
Well, I thought of at least two characters from the Superman mythology who have "L.L." initials! (Smiles)
Ad astra! Sean

Kaor, Paul!
Hard core Superman fans will know far more than I do about that mythos! (Smiles)
Ad astra! Sean
