‘Fielding, FO1465!’ the screw barked, when I was standing in front of the governor.

‘I have a complaint about the vegetarian diet,’ I said.

‘So I’ve been told,’ he replied, wearily. ‘I’ve got the diet sheet here,’ he added, giving me a glimpse of the file he was holding. ‘Fielding, you must understand that the men’s nutritional requirements have been carefully worked out. Government regulations ensure that the diet is adequate.’

‘It does sound good,’ I agreed. ‘And if that was what I’d been given, I wouldn’t be standing here. But the potato-cheese cake you mentioned had no cheese in it.
