a novelist would bring his story to a conclusion by presenting his readers 6 e: e3 ]6 D5 S3 K1 L& X
with a series of coincidences --most of them wildly improbable. Readers 6 d4 b3 L% E9 y' U0 L- A

so on. Modern readers would find such naive solutions totally unacceptable.   u/ i: U7 Z9 K$ n5 d6 v

  When I was a boy, my grandfather told me how a German taxi-driver, Franz

during the war. Though Mrs. Bussman was fully acquainted with this story, , q2 a& L5 m3 u0 d
she thought that there was a chance in a million that she might be right.

how it was that he was still alive. After having been wounded towards the
