The Intercom Conspiracy (2012)
“L for Latimer, Lewison, lubricious and louche.
Well, Mr L, you’d better watch yourself; your sheep’s clothing is slipping. When I agreed to cooperate with you I had to listen to a lot of sanctimonious jazz about probity, good faith and strict adherence to proven fact. I thought at the time that it smelt a bit of overcompensation, but I didn’t think the gilt would wear off the gingerbread quite so soon. I gave it a month. But no: two weeks.
Mr L, I don’t very much mind your appropriating a priva...tely dictated tape from my former secretary, Nicole Deladoey, and transcribing it without my permission; after all, you’re paying the cow’s wages now, and so presumably have purchased her loyalty along with her services. That was a bitchy trick, Nicole. I don’t even mind your wide-eyed and patently dishonest contention that, in reproducing that tape unedited, you were merely honouring retroactively a term of our agreement that I had insisted upon; that’s the kind of probity and good faith we men of the world can all understand.MoreLess
