The girls had gone to organise lunch and the three had become sidetracked into a conversation about Hitler.

“Why does everything have to come back to Hitler?” Calvin asked himself - preferring the company of the women to the two old men in front of him.

Puck wanted his attention - and was trying to impress upon Calvin just how dangerous some human experiments can become.

“The Führer did not eat animal meat because it was his belief that he would take on the properties - the nature of that beast - were he to ingest it. But he was no vegetarian.”

“You just said that he did not eat animals?” said Calvin abruptly.

Charley’s father really bothered him at times, although he was not sure exactly why.

“No, no animals - just people. He ate people.”

If Francis was surprised at this he did not show it. Chips was sitting in between the men, and put his chin up on the table, blinking from one to another, watching on like an obvious spy.
