Arresting Tulse Luper was not going to stop him writing. When he had exhausted the supply of given paper, he proceeded to write on the white painted walls of the bathroom which remained his prison for seven weeks. When he had covered the walls from as high as he could reach whilst standing on the floor, he stood on the bathroom chair and reached higher.

Later there had been renovations, just possibly, to honour his imagination. The decorators tried to erase what he had written but found it difficult because the ink was indelible. Anne Frank wrote on her prison walls, so did Sir Walter Raleigh. Anne Frank disappeared forever, Sir Walter Raleigh was beheaded. Tulse Luper merely changed prisons to do more writing.
