What you say could well be true. ...Hello Nadia,<br /> What you say could well be true. But Number 14 was only doing his job, he was trying to work with Number 2, who with important details, kept him at arms length, he didn't trust 14. But 14 was loyal, it’s just a pity 2 didn't trust him more. Of course 14 may have wanted to dust Number 6 down, taking him on at Kosho. But Number 14 saw Number 6 as a trouble maker, which of course he was. And when 14 went to 6 Private, he did so looking for retribution against Number 6 for his having put the poison in with Number 2.<br /> Chez 6 might not have been perched on a cliff top, but it’s a nasty drop down onto the cobbled path below. Yes Number 6 did go out of his cottage that night in ‘Dance of the Dead,’ but he climbed over the railings, and dropped gently onto the slope beneath. Number 14 was hurled out of the French window, he took the balcony railings with him. There would have been no gentle drop to the ground for him, no ending up in the hydrangeas, but a hard impact with the cobbled path below.<br /> I enjoyed your description of 6 Private being a bit draughty until the French window was repaired. But I don’t somehow think Number 6 would have tidied up his cottage, he would have left that to his personal maid, and any damaged furniture etc would have been replaced by someone from the department from furnishing, fixtures, and fittings!<br /> One other favourite scene is when Number 2 is about to leave his office. In the foyer Number 14 is dozing in an armchair. But as soon as he hears the pair of steel doors open he jumps up out of the chair, stands in front of the fireplace at attention whilst straightening his blazer. Thus giving the impression that he’s been standing like that all the time!<br /><br />Enjoy the weekend<br />Very best wishes<br />DavidDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-91593574606555521442015-10-09T12:20:05.576+01:002015-10-09T12:20:05.576+01:00Hi David

I haven’t really much sympathy for Number 14 - he got what he deserved. After all, he’s the bad guy and he’s the one who started the fight in the first place as well as trying to pick fights with No.6 on earlier occasions. A typical bully! As to what happened to him when he was thrown out of the window – I don’t think he would have been badly hurt, it wasn’t as if Chez 6 was perched on a clifftop! He would have just ended up in the hydrangeas and roses below with cuts, bruises and a few thorns in his bottom! After all, No 6 did jump out of this window quite easily in Dance of the Dead without any injury.<br />To be honest I was more concerned with the state of No 6’s furniture and furnishings after the fight than No 14! It must have taken No 6 quite a while to clear up. Would also have been a bit draughty until maintenance fixed the window, ha, ha!<br />Love<br />Nadia<br />x <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
