THE ORIGINAL "SORRELL."
" Several people, including an hotelkeeper at Kingston, Surrey, have claimed to be the original ' Sorrell,' but the truth is that my original character does not realise how famous lie has become," writes Warwick Deeping, the author of '' Sorrell and Son," in the Sunday Chronicle. "He was a porter 111 a wayside hotel whom I met some years ago while motoring. He was pale, thin, and courteous, a thorough gentleman, with whom fate had apparently dealt in a none too kindly fashion. Jt was he who gave me the idea for a book that is still bringing me in royalties."
