Harlequin Rex (2011)
“It was because of Schweitzer’s reputation and the need for reassurance that all possible steps were being taken. In any direction at all.
A group was to come from the parliamentary select committee set up in response to public alarm about Harlequin. Alst Mousier would normally have organised a visit of such importance, but he was in Australia to give a keynote address on institutional administration, and Tony Sheridan drew the short straw. He had a morning meeting with ancillary and block s...taff to go over things. Mist drifted on the upper slopes of the hills and rolling drizzle greyed the windows of the conference room like a vast exhalation.
‘Thank God they’re not coming today,’ said Sheridan. ‘Can you imagine it all? Umbrellas, the smell of wet socks and macaroni cheese, the blocks closed up like stables.’ He had his hands clasped over the front of the small lectern, and he leant back to bare his teeth to the ceiling.
‘It’s probably like that in the Beehive all the time,’ said Raf from the front row.MoreLess
