Useless Fragment #48

Noblesse oblique, I think, expresses the character of my employer, Mr Melvin Tomes.  When I took on the position of butler I assumed my duties would include the normal variety of activities -- maintenance of the master's wardrobe, administration of his social schedule and so on -- and never dreamed that I would be required to don a costume and fight crime.  And indeed I have not, but the prospect is never far from my mind. What I am attempting to say is that Mr Tomes is an enigma wrapped in a mystery dressed in a Botany 500 suit and a jester's cap with bells. No, I don't think it odd that he mails bananas to persons selected at random from the Mensa telephone book; why do you ask?
