"You go into the kitchen and get something to eat, and wait for me. I shall be out before long now." Though Heathcote had made light of the assemblage of evil spirits at Boolabong which had seemed so important to Jacko, he by no means did regard the news as unessential.

Walking through London streets this morning, his eye had caught sight of a couple of posters which held him in meditation. "One was a huge picture of an ox, and beneath it one read in great letters that sixty thousand bullocks are annually slaughtered for the manufacture of Nokes's beef-tea.
