A <strong>Life</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Day</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nixdown</strong> <strong>Nixon</strong><br />
“Yes Derby,” I say as patiently as possible.<br />
“Please ask her <strong>to</strong> mobilize <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> library. <strong>The</strong> Bond<br />
tw<strong>in</strong>s will be wait<strong>in</strong>g for her.”<br />
“I shall <strong>in</strong>form Miss Mor<strong>to</strong>n and you can advise<br />
<strong>the</strong> tw<strong>in</strong>s that she will be along <strong>to</strong> take care <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m<br />
with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> next thirty m<strong>in</strong>utes,” she replies.<br />
“Thank you Derby,” I say wearily and set <strong>of</strong>f <strong>in</strong><br />
pursuit <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> tw<strong>in</strong>s.<br />
It is really quite extraord<strong>in</strong>ary, if you walk<br />
beh<strong>in</strong>d <strong>the</strong> tw<strong>in</strong>s it is as if <strong>the</strong>y have been cut from<br />

Quite eerie, when you come <strong>to</strong> th<strong>in</strong>k about it.<br />
Deborah calls me back. “What was it this time,<br />
scrapp<strong>in</strong>g aga<strong>in</strong>?”<br />
“Yeah, who knows what about. Charlotte said<br />
<strong>the</strong>y refused <strong>to</strong> comment. I suppose it doesn’t matter<br />
really,” I tell my chum.<br />
“Well I need <strong>to</strong> dry my hair and get dressed,<br />
tell <strong>the</strong>m that I’ll be along <strong>to</strong> beat <strong>the</strong>m as soon as<br />
possible,” she tells me.<br />
I arrange <strong>the</strong> tw<strong>in</strong>s on ei<strong>the</strong>r side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
hallway so that <strong>the</strong>y don’t succumb <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> temptation<br />
<strong>of</strong> gett<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> ano<strong>the</strong>r scrap. <strong>The</strong>y both know <strong>the</strong><br />
form. <strong>The</strong>y raise <strong>the</strong>ir arms and <strong>in</strong>ter-l<strong>in</strong>k <strong>the</strong>ir hands
