| (Carol) Oh no — what kind of trouble? |
| Reg: I don’t know — Mr Wentworth told me to come and say that there was trouble |
| at the mill, that’s all — I didn’t expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition |

| and the ruthless efficiency… and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope… |
| Amongst our weapons… are fear, surprise, ruth… Amongst our weaponry… |
| are such elements as fear… I’ll come in again |
| (Exit and exeunt) |

| such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and an almost |
| fanatical devotion to the Pope, and a night out with the neighbour — Oh erh! |
| It’s no good, I’m sorry. |
| Cardinal Biggles — you’ll have to say it |
