The origins of militancy


Milton Ridley is not happy. He feels let down by Sevalanz Grimble who he had thought of as a friend. However, far from enthusing at his winning the part of Dr Faustus (in the new Global Brickworks Production) she is actively campaigning against the show. 

‘Well, I too can be militant!’ exclaims the old war-horse, and he starts a major campaign against Irrational Superstitions directed at both the Militant Moralists, and the Seven Dials Ladies’ Kabbala Tsimtsum Circle (no association, merely a commonality of membership).

Magritude Feather, who is now babysitting the infant genius Kolya, finds one of Ridley’s pamphlets, headlined, ‘What is to be done?’  Obscurely it turns out to be a diatribe against ‘West Side Story’.
