No.6 stirs the pot!

    If there's one thing I cannot stand, girls who don't know how to make a descent cup of tea! A lesson, - said No.6 emptying the tea pot - rinse out, warm the pot always, rinse out. Now, - taking a spoon and tea caddy - one for me, one for thee, one for the pot, one for luck. Boiling water, switch off, let stand for one moment, oh pour the milk for me would you please. Cup, saucer, get the sugar for me please, furthest cupboard, should be nice.

 

A Reported Prisoner On The Run

   Whichever way you look at it, he's an escaped prisoner on the run. No better than any escaped convict! "Considered to be dangerous, the Prisoner is not to be approached under any circumstances" the Chief Constable said today in a statement.

   And a more rough looking escaped prisoner you are not likely to meet! Apparently the prisoner came ashore at Beachy Head, this was witnessed by the lighthouse keeper of the Beachy Head lighthouse. And according to James Fraser, the keeper of the light, the Prisoner then scrambled up the cliffs like a "Wee mountain Lamby," in a place along the cliffs where there had been a recent landslide of the cliff face due to the erosion of the chalk cliffs.

    By this time the police were hard on the trail of the said prisoner, who was apparently aided by a young gypsy woman, who gave him a cup of "hot broth" before sending him on his way.

   The police by this time had set up a series road block in the Beachy Head, Eastbourne, and Bexhill areas in an attempt to recapture the escaped prisoner. Although it is possible that the prisoner has found a way round the road blocks, especially if he is not travelling by road. On foot, but over open countryside is more the likely. However it was suggested that the Prisoner might have found another way. By secreting himself unbeknown to the driver, inside the back of a truck or lorry, after the said truck or lorry had passed safely through a road block.

    It is thought that the escaped prisoner is heading for London, where he is expected to meet with old friends who might harbour the said prisoner and help get him out of the country. I asked the Chief Constable today what this escaped prisoners crime was? The Chief Constable told me that the prisoner was doing "life" for an undisclosed crime, for which he was unable to give a reason for at this time.

   In the Village there are winners, losers, success and defeat. Take Arrival for example, this episode is a defeat for No.6 as he failed to escape the village, although he has thus far maintained the reason behind his resignation.

   For No.2, and the new No.2 it is both a failure and a success. The failure lies in the fact that both No.2’s failed to extract the required information, that of the reason for the Prisoners resignation. Yet success can be measured in many ways, such as in the way that the village security has no loop-holes, in the  prevention of No.6’s escape. This as well as being a demonstration, together with the fact that Cobb, who is keen not to keep his new masters waiting, has been successfully recruited.

    The Chimes of Big Ben: Is a failure for No.2, yet it was not his fault, he did his best, and he did tell Nadia. You see No.2 was right about No.6. And as for No.6, well once again he managed to maintain the reason for his resignation, even if it was at the death! Had post 5 not had his wrist watch set at English time, then it might have been a very different matter. Yet is must surely have been a blow for No.6, not only to discover that he and Nadia were nowhere near London. And that both the Colonel and Forthingay are on the side of the village! Yet No.6 doesn’t complain, doesn’t kick up a fuss. Instead he takes it all in his stride as we see him returning to his cottage.

Be seeing you
