<Ding Dong >
"Hi all, sorry I'm late, the snow was a bit troublesome"
<Lugs in a heavy trolley on wheels>
"Right, what we got here then ? Aha, a potential newbie. Good. Fresh young flesh is always much tender. Not like the rest of you hardened and bitter old-timer contractors."
<Opens up trolley, revealing a veritable cornucopia of "implements">
"So, SC cleared eh ? A bit of a security specialist, or privvy to secret information eh ? They're the trickiest ones you know. All this cloak and dagger stuff, secret handshakes, Smiley's People, public school strict discipline....ah...good old DISCIPLINE."
<Passed a drink by RH>
"Thanks RH. Sambuca is it ? Hmm, I'm still recovering after the last time !
Right, where was I ?
Ah yes. These "types" love a bit of discipline. So, where shall we set up ?"
<Reaches in the trolley for the violet wand>Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
