Iain sighed, and idly fingering the rotary dial, exasperatedly spoke into the telephone that he was trying to reach Fleet Street, and was greeted with an irritable combination of animosity and bemusement. He explained that he was supposed to have been put through to Johannesburg, and not Livingstone, but he would rather talk to London directly, as—and he made this absolutely clear—London operators are competent enough to direct your call without too much fuss and aggravation. He was irritably informed that communications with London have been under strong disruption for several months, but if he waited they could transfer him through to the Telegraph offices in Manchester, and soon, after several routings, he was on the line to a thickly accented receptionist at Kemsley House, who belched at him in a strange mixture of Liverpudlian dockyarder, Irish tinker, and Mancunian brogue.
