There’s a small hole in the jacket, where a musket ball passed through, while his breeches and stockings are heavily bloodstained. It is noticeable that lawyers are either seedy or just plain crooked in the later Saint saga.Having virtually invented the modern ‘Gay Desperado’ figure, Charteris influenced a generation of thriller-writers, on both sides of the Atlantic, most of whom, alas, lacked his mastery of language, replacing linguistic pyrotechnics with a relentless facetiousness, their creations (John Creasey’s Toff, Berkeley Gray’s Norman Conquest, et al.) all more or less gruesome in both tone and substance.A wise investor, Charteris needed to do little for the last 30-odd years of his life save freshen up the largely undistinguished prose of those who were translating teleplays from the various leaden Saint television series into novellas for the final dozen or so Saint books, dine out a great deal (at one stage he was a columnist for Gourmet Magazine), and tinker around with a succession of mildly eccentric fancies such as the universal sign language, Paleneo, he invented, or his surefire beat-the-bookies betting system, the ‘WIN-dicator’, which merely added an abundance of grey hairs to all who tried it.(Photograph omitted).
