The new Parliament opposed many neo-colonial policies in Bahrain, including the country’s hosting of a US naval fleet, which increased its presence in the Gulf as British ships partially withdrew from “East of Suez”. All this gave Henderson great comfort. “[His] self-importance was so high that he could stop anyone driving around him, like a sheikh, no one could overtake him,” says Khalaf, “And he didn’t trust others – his wife was his secretary right up until he retired.”

When I spoke to him at his home in Ashford, Kent in 2013, he told me: “In the end, [Henderson] was not a man I could trust. You would tell him one thing and he would tell somebody else something else. A case in point was the arrest of 10 Palestinian expatriate teachers, most of whom were linked to their country’s mainstream Fatah political movement. In March 1965, the year before Henderson arrived, Bahraini nationalists almost killed the British chief of police, Bob Langdale, using a car bomb. Life-changing injuries forced Langdale to retire. In his memoir A Pied Cloak (1996) Franklin wrote a graphic account of his Pseudo Gang’s activities in Kenya but made light of the harsh conditions under which they operated and of the sustained physical and mental efforts required to achieve success.

But without Reuben, the murderous brothers planned to sell Joseph. They could get 20 pieces of silver by selling him to some people passing through. So that’s what they did.

(They enjoy warming up at the tavern before church and at special intermission.) On the first Sunday after the stove is installed (a bitterly cold day) the members lay aside their coats; one woman faints from heat, has to be taken to tavern to be revived. It is discovered that there is no fire in the stove. Compassionate executioner: bloody coat. A servant charged with killing the hero smears the latter‘s coat with the blood of an animal as proof of the execution and lets the hero escape.

In some parts of the world, say China, people don’t typically wear secondhand clothes. Once worn, clothing becomes a part of that person. Thirty years on, his memories are still vivid. “I would cry and scream, ‘Please take me down and I would say whatever you want!’” But of course Stephen King also likes a good horror raincoat. You probably know the one. Cloaks and Coats As Invisibility Clothing Harold Jones, from This Year, Next Year, which also featured poems by Walter de la Mare In the book of Genesis, Joseph owned a coat that had been gifted to him by his father, Jacob.
