To climb up to the balustrade, at the very top of the house, just outside Cook's room , adjust yourself nicely on your stomach, paw your person into at first slow, then ever-increasing motion, and, disregarding the pressure of buttons on sensitive parts, fly giddily down, flight after flight, breathless, terrified, full to the brim of thrill and splendour - this was life.
