When you stir your rice pudding, Septimus, the spoonful of jam spreads itself round making red trails like the picture of a meteor in my astronomical atlas. But if you stir backwards, the jam will not come together again. Indeed, the pudding does not notice and continues to turn pink just as before. Do you think this is odd?

I can't remember what my first script was.

I'm a conservative kind of person. I don't think rightwing is quite the same thing. But I acknowledge my conservatism of temperament.

A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier.

It takes a lot of effort to be vibrant.

Give us this day our daily mask.

Any revival in which I am involved is liable to change.
