The random article:
Osnard took a pull of red and shook his head. $prime;Fight it, my advice. Form an internal Embassy working-party. You, Ambass, Fran, me. Gully$prime;s Defence so he$prime;s not family, Pitt$prime;s on probation. Put together an indoctrination list, everyone signs off on it, meet out of hours.$prime;

$prime;From now on BUCHAN$prime;s likely to be an on-going thing, sir,$prime; Osnard declared airily as he collected the signed forms like a croupier raking in the chips. $prime;His stuff$prime;s coming in at quite a rate. Meeting once a week may not be enough.$prime;
