Scoring. It is regretted that the Spectator cannot offer a Widmerpool-style overcoat as a prize for this quiz. Nonetheless, those who scored 10-12, can feel themselves metaphorically thus clad. Those who scored 6-9 can at least keep the ball rolling. Of those who scored 0-4 one can only say that these books don't furnish their room.
