pictures. To prove my story.тАЩ

тАШWhip тАШem out, then. LetтАЩs have a look at the buggers.тАЩ

тАШAh,тАЩ said Soap. тАШWell, I donтАЩt have them on me.

тАШAh,тАЩ said the editor. тАШIsnтАЩt it always the way?тАЩ

тАШTheyтАЩre at Boots the Chemist, being developed. IтАЩll have them back by Thursday. IтАЩve got the receipt,
here, IтАЩll show you if you want.тАЩ

тАШDonтАЩt put yourself to the trouble. Why donтАЩt you just come back on Thursday,with the photographs,
and weтАЩll talk about it then. I think we might be able to come up with something moderately convincing, if
we put our heads together on this one.тАЩ

тАШModerately convincing?тАЩ Soap was now clearly appalled. тАШBut itтАЩs the truth. Everything IтАЩve told you is
the truth.тАЩ

The editor settled back in his chair and sniffed at his bright red rose. тАШMr Distant,тАЩ he said. тАШI am a
professional journalist. The truth rarely plays a part in my work. I sell papers. The more papers I sell, the
more money I make. If papers told nothing but the truth they wouldnтАЩt be in business very long, would
they? Most news is terribly dull. You have to put a bit of a spin on it.тАЩ

тАШWhatтАЩs a тАЬspinтАЭ?тАЩ Soap asked.

тАШItтАЩs a slant, if you like. An interpretation.тАЩ

тАШA lie,тАЩ said Soap.

тАШJust because it isnтАЩt the truth doesnтАЩt mean itтАЩs a lie.тАЩ

Soap Distant picked up his hat from the floor and stuck it once more on his head. тАШI will get to the
bottom of this,тАЩ he told the editor. тАШGetting to the bottom of things is what I do best.тАЩ

тАШDo whatever you like, Mr Distant. But if you wish to pursue this, and youdo have some pictures, and
the pictures look moderately convincingтАФтАЩ

тАШGrrrr,тАЩ went Soap.

тАШIf the pictures come out OK, then IтАЩll see what I can do.тАЩ

тАШRight,тАЩ said Soap. тАШRight. Well, we shall see what we shall see. But when I get my knighthood from the
QueenтАФтАЩ

тАШAh yes,тАЩ said the editor. тАШThe Queen. This would be Queen Elizabeth, I suppose.

тАШOf course it would be, yes.тАЩ

The editor set free another sigh. тАШYou really must have been underground for a lot longer than ten years,тАЩ
he said. тАШQueen Elizabeth was assassinated twenty years ago.тАЩ
