I’d give anything to wipe that stupid grin off his face, Ffoulkes. Well, he’s a crafty one, that one, Mortimer. I’d like to know what he’s grinning at. And …? We have the requisite inquisitorial facilities here, you know. You’re not suggesting …? You read my mind, Mortimer. Bravo, Ffoulkes! Likewise, Mortimer. ---

Morning, Ffoulkes. Morning, Mortimer. I say, Ffoulkes, you don’t look your usual sprightly self. Well, I’m not a lumberjack, Mortimer, and I’m anything but … Coming down with something are you, Ffoulkes? Sad sack, Mortimer. Perkins thought it might be primogeniture. Good lord! We haven’t had a case of that for years. So Perkins said. You’d better see doctor D, Ffoulkes. Old Dragonwyk? I thought he was dead. Yes, well, he does give that impression sometimes. What happened to that gorgeous locum of his? Down with Alice, I heard. Lot of it about these days. Well, just so long as she’s not down with Fothergill. Dreadful fellow, Ffoulkes I’ll be off then, Mortimer. Safe passage, Ffoulkes. Likewise, Mortimer. ---

That’s right, yeah. I’ve had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and what we’ve come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts… One… people are not wearing enough hats. Two… matter is energy; in the Universe there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person’s soul. However, this soul does not exist _ab inito_, as orthodox Christianity teaches; it has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved owing to man’s unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia. ---
