I have, uh, chosen a text I know
Justin and Tessa would approve.
:45:15
It's an epistle.
Noncanonical.
:45:22
"My Dear Sandy:
Your na: I: Veté is beyond belief.
:45:27
"Knowing our arrangements
with KDH and ThreeBees,
:45:31
"you send me
this half-baked report...
:45:33
"by some bleeding heart
diplomatic wife and her black lover...
:45:37
"and ask me to take action.
:45:39
"The only action required,
apart from shredding the thing,
:45:43
"is to keep a tighter rein
on your resident harlot.
:45:47
"I want to know what she does;
where she goes; whom she meets.
:45:52
"The issue here is deniability.
:45:56
"If nobody told us
Dypraxa was causing deaths;
:45:59
"we can't be held responsible.
:46:01
"But, my dear Sandy,
should it ever become known...
:46:05
"that we've closed our eyes to the deaths;
:46:07
"none of us would survive the scandal.
:46:10
[Chattering]
"I still have great hopes of you.
My love to Gloria.
:46:13
[Chattering Continues]
Yours Sincerely; Bernard."
:46:16
[Shouting Questions]
This way; sir.
What do you have to say; sir?
:46:21
[Shouting Continues]
:46:27
It was a bizarre sort of suicide.
:46:32
His body bore no fewer
than eight bullet wounds...
:46:36
from three different guns,
:46:38
none of which was the one
found in his hand.
:46:41
So who has got away with murder?
:46:44
Not, of course, the British government.
:46:47
They merely covered up;
as one does; the offensive corpses.
:46:52
Though not literally. That was done
by person or persons unknown.
:46:59
So who has committed murder?
