Robertson and published in 1963 by Collier-Macmillan in hardback and paperback, is based on the television episode "Genesis" by Frank Rolfe. This novel is the only source wherein a name is given to the Paladin character, Clay Alexander, but fans of the series do not consider this name canonical.

Coming off Super Bowl, wherein I served stuffed mushrooms, sausage and peppers, all kinds of delicious yet bad stuff, I'm calling for a moratorium on unhealthy foods in general. Reubens delish but so unhealthy. Save the corned beef and hot dogs and any kind of processed meat to an absolute treat maybe only a couple of times a year. Corned beef St Patrick's Day, hot dogs 4th of July, ham another bad choice maybe for Easter. I sense most of this group here may be retired senior citizens and I'm sure you're working hard to maintain good health. Please avoid the processed meats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-25021360527874817062017-02-07T21:41:36.811-06:002017-02-07T21:41:36.811-06:00Ok I looked it up.

Incidentally, the professor who taught that literature class became my neighbor about a decade later. She and her husband, my economics professor from the same college, moved in a few houses down. They are both still with us today, and we visit every now and then. Occasionally I am reminded of the stories we studied, and we still discuss them.

It has many variations, among which is the medieval Latin <i>bedellus</i>. <br />I'm not sure that it's in <i>Christmas Carol</i>, but certainly--as <b>Yellowrocks</b> has pointed out--a famous one appears as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mr_Bumble_1889_Dickens_Oliver_Twist_character_by_Kyd_(Joseph_Clayton_Clarke).jpg" rel="nofollow">Mr Bumble</a> in <i>Oliver Twist</i>, and the title appears elsewhere throughout Dickens.
