In yesterdays UK paper "The Mail on Sunday" there is a short article by Peter Hitchens wishing her luck and quoting the "If not duffers, won't drown. Better drowned than duffers." phrase.
The article asks if anyone reads the S&A series anymore and ends by suggesting Laura is sent a copy of WDMTGTS, as it exemplifies the fact that the Swallows made it across the North Sea because they were trusted in the past.
