Philip is so very direct. And without going round in a circle and repeating myself I have no answer unless it be the March Hare's famous and obvious retort, Why not? And then I know Philip would floor me badly with his very superior logic. But to return to our first meeting. It took place at a dentist's, or rather in the dreary ante-room to the torture chamber, common to dental establishments, which invariably contained a center table, of mottled bamboo for preference, bearing an untidy collection of dilapidated and out-of-date magazines and day-before-yesterday's paper; several chairs and a couch with its springs thinly covered; a pot-bound palm on a rickety stand, a picture or two on the wall, and a framed certificate stating the full right and capability to torture, of the President of the Torture Chamber beyond.
