A <strong>Life</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Day</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nixdown</strong> <strong>Nixon</strong>grudges aga<strong>in</strong>st this pair <strong>of</strong> be-yotch’s and not <strong>to</strong>enjoy some gloat<strong>in</strong>g satisfaction at <strong>the</strong>ir reducedcircumstances.“Morn<strong>in</strong>g ladies, hands on your heads, youknow <strong>the</strong> form,” I greet <strong>the</strong>m.Janet looks resigned as she raises her arms.Yvonne on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand takes <strong>the</strong> time <strong>to</strong> glare atme before comply<strong>in</strong>g; her eyes burn with anger andresentment as she l<strong>in</strong>ks her hands on <strong>to</strong>p <strong>of</strong> her head.Before we discuss <strong>the</strong>ir day’s assignments I amrequired <strong>to</strong> subject <strong>the</strong>m <strong>to</strong> a full clobber <strong>in</strong>spection. Idoubt that <strong>the</strong>y will be foolish enough <strong>to</strong> pitch up with<strong>the</strong>ir clobber <strong>in</strong> an abusive state but it is anopportunity <strong>to</strong> make <strong>the</strong>m sweat a little.I start with an <strong>in</strong>spection <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir blazers and<strong>the</strong>n proceed <strong>to</strong> methodically check every stitch,seam, hem and but<strong>to</strong>n <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir cloth<strong>in</strong>g.

I suppress a gr<strong>in</strong>.Derby is a hard task-mistress and will not <strong>to</strong>lerate anyslack<strong>in</strong>g on her watch. She will have Yvonne andJanet scurry<strong>in</strong>g about hi<strong>the</strong>r and thi<strong>the</strong>r and willmoni<strong>to</strong>r <strong>the</strong>ir performance like a hawk. Lady Derbyhas no compunction when it comes <strong>to</strong> dispatch<strong>in</strong>g<strong>the</strong>m <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> library for a thrash<strong>in</strong>g if she feels that<strong>the</strong>y have not met her exact<strong>in</strong>g standards.
