There seems to be something rather sinister in the title ‘Many Happy Returns.’ After all it's not a celebration of his birthday, although No.6 is returned to the Village on March 19th, there being only 6 lighted candles on the cake Mrs Butterworth presents him with is but a representation of his number. No, it's that word "Happy." There's nothing "Happy" about Number 6 having been returned to the village, he simply accepts it as a fait accompli.
I'll be seeing you
