- i shall lay out a selection of cutting edges for you in your dressing room, sir, and i myself will go up to the copse half an hour before you're due to be there, with my trusty bow and an assortment of favourite playthings. it's nearly a full moon, clear skies, there'll be shadows everywhere, and i'll be standing in the darkest one of them.

- i'd put you down as more the sprinting sort, sir, - said willikins.
