| #2 "Nicholas Shakespeare, journalist, novelist, biographer and direct descendant of William's grandfather" It is unlikely to help Mr Hollande's campaign to discover they were uttered by the novel's hero, Gabriel, a Maoist revolutionary who ends up a terrorist for the murderous Peruvian guerrilla group, Shining Path.
