Some are born heroes, some such as Rolly have heroism thrust, literally in his case, upon them. I was determined to bring philosophy out of the closet, to be more precise out of the cloistered, tweedy, pipe smoke suffused, atmosphere in which it has suffocated. Mind games are fine and well in theory, this was an opportunity to practise! Who better to rise, in his case descend, to the occasion than my good friend Rolly.
