- The giant platypuses were torturing me after their fashion:
- comfortable armchair, big glass of icy spring water (delicious water with
- a tiny steel spring in it), smaller glass of 15-year-old single-malt Scotch,
- and, after a few minutes of that, a shapely five-foot brunette in a snug-
- fitting plum-colored dress. She snuggled up to me and assaulted me with
- puns, playful kisses, and wistful longing looks in her huge brown eyes.
- I capitulated and told my captors all they wanted to know; luckily,
- all of the information could have been found by several hours of research
- in public libraries and pornographic bookstores. The platypuses listened
- with rapt attention and yawns, and at length they let me go after further
- torture with large portions of salmon-roe caviar and Pol Roger and the
- witty conversation of the brunette. As I left their secret headquartes
- in the Giant Platypus Enterprises Building, I saw that the brunette was
- following me. I stopped and she walked up to me. "I own you now," she
- said, with a naughty smile that ran down the street smashing shop windows
- before returning to her face.
- "You've been reading too many stories about bondage and industrial
- adhesives lately," I said, with a flippant gravity, a calm terror, a
- nonchalant tone of concern, and various other oxymorons.
- "Nevertheless you'll come with me," she said.
- "Sure," I said, and chucked her under her stubborn chin, which seemed
- to shift under the gentle blow (55 mph, with gusts to 70 -- not even a
- topical storm yet).
- We walked down the Ich-bin-ein-Berliner-Strasse to the Romanesque
- Revival building (built at the site of tent meetings held by Dominican friars)
- where she had her apartment. We ran down several flights of stairs, and
- when we could go no lower except by committing perverse acts, she went over
- to a huge steel sliding door made of huge steel, unlocked it with her unlocket,
- and swung it open (even though it was a sliding door). We went in and she
- closed the door silently behind her.
- The rooms were light and airy, with windows six feet square giving a
- fine view of Lisbon. "I have to change," she said, and tore off her face
- and scalp, revealing herself as a very pale young redhead, face faintly
- gawky yet beautiful though very heavily freckled.
- The blow from the giant wombat's truncheon brought me to my senses.
