The random article:
People who are just too intelligent to vote at all. Karfeld is the one hat that covers all their heads. How do you define a mood? God, they are obtuse. We get no instructions any more: just questions. I told them: «Surely you have the same kind of thing in England? It$prime;s all the rage everywhere else.» And after all, no one suspected a world plot in Paris: why look for it here? Mood… ignorance… boredom.$prime; He leaned across the table. $prime;Have you ever voted? I$prime;m sure you have. What$prime;s it like? Did you feel altered? Was it like Mass? Did you walk away ignoring everybody?$prime; De Lisle ate another oyster. $prime;I think London has been bombed. Is that the answer? And you$prime;re just a blind to cheer us up. Perhaps only Bonn is left. What a frightful thought. A world in exile. That$prime;s what we are though. Inhabited by exiles, too.$prime;
$prime;Why does Karfeld hate the British?$prime; Turner asked. His mind was far away.
$prime;That, I confess, is one of life$prime;s unsolved mysteries. We$prime;ve all tried our hand at it in Chancery. We$prime;ve talked about it, read about it, argued about it. No one has the answer.$prime; He shrugged. $prime;Who believes in motive these days, least of all in a politician? We did try to define that. Something we once did to him, perhaps. Something he once did to us. It$prime;s the childhood impressions that last the longest they say. Are you married, by the way?$prime;
$prime;What$prime;s that got to do with it?$prime;
$prime;My,$prime; said de Lisle admiringly, $prime;you are prickly.$prime;
$prime;What does he do for money?$prime;
$prime;He$prime;s an industrial chemist; he runs a big plant outside Essen. There$prime;s a theory the British gave him a rough time during the Occupation, dismantled his factory and ruined his business. I don$prime;t know how true it all is. We$prime;ve attempted a certain amount of research but there$prime;s very little to go on and Rawley, quite rightly, forbids us to enquire outside. God knows,$prime; he declared with a small shudder, $prime;what Siebkron would think of us if we started that game. The press just says he hates us, as if it required no explanations. Perhaps they$prime;re right.$prime;
