Books, military prints and statuettes, a
“campaign” writing slope. You can tell it’s a campaign wring lope because of
the brass fittings deigned to protect it while on active service during a war.
There are two black and white prints, one
hanging on the wall, while the other sits on a shelf, but I cannot remember
what they are called.
The Professor works at an electronic
typewriter, at an elegant writing desk, possibly French, and upon which stands
a continental telephone. Also a stationery holder, and a desk blotter. And
there is a machine which converts the typed text of the Professor’s lectures
onto metallic strips, which are eventually fed into the General. All in all,
the General’s office is small, compact, comfortable, yet function-able.
There is a large pair of curtains, pull the
cord the curtains open and revealing a circular archway, and beyond that at the
top of a slope is the General. Well what else would one call a computer? But
any computer is only as good as its programming. Miss out the most basic facts
and there are questions even the General cannot answer!
Be seeing you
