I am certain that I shall return.

MacArthur had plenty of memorable quotes — “I shall return!” when he left the Philippines during World War II being the pithiest — but not that one.

“No doubt, no doubt, madam; and now I wish you good morning. I shall return to Brocklehurst Hall in the course of a week or two: my good friend, the Archdeacon, will not permit me to leave him sooner. I shall send Miss Temple notice that she is to expect a new girl, so that there will be no difficulty about receiving her. Good-bye.”

“I shall return for your answer.”

I shall return shortly with line-ups and the opinions of Guardian geniuses more knowledgeable than I. If you want to add your voice to the conversation, feel free to shoot me an email or tweet @JPHowcroft.
