"My butler, Chives, had gone to answer the door.
I made a great show of nonchalance, as I always do when unexpected visitors arrive during a period of crisis, and I took my oboe down from its shelf and played a sad melody. I heard the tramp of feet, five feet in total, which meant only a single visitor, for three feet always belong to Chives; I gave him the extra leg when I invented him, for the sake of stability and speed. And also because he's a monster. He entered the room and I broke off my playing in the middle of a bittersweet arpeggio and scrutinised the figure that stood directly behind him.
'A certain functionary to see you, sir,' said Chives."
