A Life in the Day of Nixdown Nixon - The Woody Back to School Unit

of being cynical but actually I just think that I have an
innately suspicious nature and I have sometimes
suspected that Debs engineers many of her more
calamitous situations for her own personal selfaggrandizement.
Deborah naturally denies any such
accusations and our disagreements have occasionally
caused significant rifts in the lute.
At the end of last year when Mr Humphries
was seeking a successor to Lady Victoria he lobbied
Jojo and I to fulfill the role of Red-shirt. For different
reasons we both turned down the position and we
both expressed the opinion that despite Deborah’s fall
from grace with Ms Lawton that we just assumed that
would be forgotten and she would be the natural
candidate. After all she is an unreasonably (and
perhaps even unnaturally) gifted individual and it is
actually her abundance of fatal flaws that make her
so attractive and sometimes even endearing.
However, The Grand Master explained that he feared
that she would just be too high maintenance and I
have to say that I agreed with him. Eventually Lady
Vix was persuaded to stay on for a second term even
though she has officially finished her sentence.
Despite the Grand Masters concerns Victoria
lobbied for Debs to firstly be promoted to Captain of
the Red House and then subsequently as her Deputy.
I am forced to admit that Debs has proved me
wrong and has done a smashing job in both roles, so
I am more than happy to endorse her when the time
comes. I just wish that she would stop babbling in my
ear about heart-rates and breathing patterns.
