This is one of No.6's personal maids, who has made him his nightcap, of hot chocolate, supposed to help him sleep. To put him to sleep, as the nightcap is drugged! I say one of No.6's personal maids, because No.6's maids come and they go, almost as often as No.2 changes office! No.6 has two personal maids, one during the day, and one at night time. This particular maid you will have seen before, as she used to work as a waitress at the cafe, and so being was the first person to speak to the Prisoner in Arrival. She offered him breakfast,said they'd be open in a minute, then directed him to the nearest telephone box around the corner. So a job in the village isn't for life. There is room for advancement, and always the possibilty of changing ones job. Or indeed having it changed for you! Be seeing you
Number Two put in his report that she seemed to be a smart girl.
ReplyDeleteThe man in the Labour Exchange even became a secret agent eventually, or was that just a story we were told?
