"Three and a half years producing volun on my many branches for the national war effort as we, as a nation, cowered behind Mussolini as he attempted to annex Abyssinia. Three and a half years! What did I, Manolo, get out of it?"
"Ye got yer liberty" said Malcolm solemnly doing up the lace on his right shoe. "Ye got yer liberty, a weekly pruning and a family of squirrels living just above yer ribcage. Now, shut up."
