“I’m glad you like her. You’ll be seeing a lot of one another in the future.” He gestured towards the end of the bed. “May I?”
“Yes, Sir. Of course.” He sat, leaned back against the wall. I watched his face, wondering what I was supposed to do. Unbuckle his trousers? I started towards him, but he sat up again.
“That was quite a display you put up the other day. Very impressive. Everybody thought so.” He was studying my face. “I’m not sure that your methods quite belong within our own curriculum. But I can see how some of them may be useful in certain circumstances.”
“I’m pleased that you think so, Sir.” “Which hits the nail bang on the head,” he replied. “Where we are concerned, it doesn’t matter whether or not you’re pleased. It doesn’t matter what you think. That’s your weakness. Look at Penelope. She has her own mind, she has her own opinions, and she expresses them freely. But she understands… no, ‘understands’ is the wrong word. She knows instinctively that there is a time when you should hold an opinion, and a time when you shouldn’t.”
“I noticed that, sir. I’m sorry, Sir.” “See, there you go again. Did I ask you to apologize? No, I didn’t. You were anticipating my commands before you received them. A deadly mistake” He pulled a tattered paperback out of his jacket pocket, and handed it to me. Robert Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land. “Have you read this?”
“No, sir.” He looked a little surprised. “You should. There’s a character in here, she’s what is called a ‘fair witness’, which means, any event that she’s called upon to describe, whether in a court of law or somewhere less formal, she does so without any attempt to embellish the facts with what she thought she saw or heard. She reports only what actually transpired in her presence. Now, if you take that same principle and apply it not only to what you see and hear, but to every other moment of your life, then you’ll go far. You do not anticipate, you do not guess. You react only to the events that actually occur.” He looked at me. “Does that make sense?”
“Yes, Sir.” “Hang onto the book. Something to read in between your writings. They went down well, too, you know.”
“Thank you, Sir.” Then; “May I ask you something?”
He nodded.
“The man… Jurgens. What happened?” “Oh Chrissie, that was priceless. Absolutely priceless! The look on his face when you picked him out… let me ask you a question. Why did you happen to pick him out, a man you’ve never seen before? Surely there were enough other faces in that room that you recognized?”
“I don’t know, really. It was just… the expression on his face when I looked at him, as though he despised me, and everything I represented… and not just me. The entire human race, male or female.”
“That about sums him up,” the Doctor replied. “A lot of people were very pleased indeed when you called him out.
