The pirce of Lord Lucan’s sin

The second thing you must realise is the enormity of the price that I have had to pay. I know that this is as nothing compared to the price that Sandra, dear Sandra, had to pay all those years ago, and that while she lies dead in her grave, I at least have been granted that wonderful miracle of life. But what a shrinking misery of a life it has been. Nothing like the life I had hoped for as Lord Lucan. And, in so far as one can discuss that airy conceit of natural justice, it would be fair to say that I have received my just desserts. Not that what has occurred to me has even been a penny, a scintilla, of the price that Sandra had to pay.
