I was not retired. I chose to move into an alternative field after a long and fulfilling political career.

And what are you planning to do with the potion once it has been bottled and cooled?

*Begins pasting labels onto the bottles*

Nothing that will require your intervention.

Do you know, for some reason I'm reluctant to believe you.

*carefully writes a serial number on each label*

I am deeply wounded by your lack of trust, John.

*turns away and continues to fill up each bottle carefully, exactly to a mark at the base of the neck, then stoppering each one with a dark blue cork.*

*files each one away in meticulously ordered and labelled cabinet*

*wipes down all surfaces, scrubs clean all utensils*

...

...why are you still here?

Well, it's either continue to be here and annoy you or go home and get yelled at for being here and annoying you. And putting off the inevitable for just a little longer seemed like a good idea.

In that case, you can toddle off upstairs and find something to drink.

Well, I shouldn't really... what with Sally giving up smoking, I'm not really meant to drink...

Still, I suppose a single glass wouldn't do too much harm...

Where's the bottle, Peter?

Cupboard under the stairs. Corkscrew is in the... ...left-modt drawyer in the kitchen. Mind the overhead cupboard, I still haven't got around to getting rid of the demon infestation and they get nippy in the cold weather.

I don't spend that much time here anyway....

*Finishes pouring wine into glasses as Peter arrives*

Ah, there you are; I was about to call but now there's no need.

*Hands over a glass*

There you go.

*Takes a sip of own glass*

Aaaahhhh... I'd almost managed to forget how good your wine was.

Anything would be, compared to the effluent you're prepared to swig.

I freely admit I am not a connoisseur of fine wines, Peter. It also doesn't help that it has been far too long since I've partaken of such beverages.

And whose fault is that?

What? The fact that I'm not a connoisseur or that I haven't had a drink in a while?

I'm afraid I cannot take complete responsibly for either situation, but I acknowledge my part in these failings.

Anything interesting on?
