An Exercise in Allegory
Sir - A man living a few streets away from me, Mr S. Addam, keeps petrol in his shed, possibly to fuel a lawnmower. My neighbours and I have requested that he let us look in his shed, because we're afraid he is going to burn our houses down. Regrettably, he won't let us.
We can't trust this man at all. A few years back, we helped Mr Addam beat up another neighbour and poison his dogs. That neighbour, Mr I. R. Toller, deserved everything he got, because he had thrown the previous occupant, Mr Shah, out of his house.
