Final Word

This week's Final Word comes from a gambler and an epileptic:

" 'We've had enough of being carried away by our enthusiasms. It's high time we grew sensible. And all this, all this life abroad, and all this Europe of yours is just a delusion, and all of us abroad are a delusion. Mark my words, you'll see it for yourself!' she concluded almost angrily as she took leave of Radomsky."

The winner of last week's competition, who identified Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart , is Maureen Little of De Montfort University, Bedford.
