There wasn’t normally much on the bookshelf to interest the Master. It seemed to delight in presenting him with progressively more unreadable rubbish - everything from books on how to decorate cakes to The Brownie Annual 2008.

'I can only make suggestions for the "megalomaniacal genius" and "overlord" bits,' he remarked, 'but I'm sure you'll find no shortage of idiots.'
