"Now!' Marvin interjected. 'You must all be wondering why I invited you here. Well, you know why you're here, Arthur; and I assume you've explained a little near the club to our members—'

'We're looking at culling truths, right?' Bedivere asked. 'The darker side to Britain, and all that.'

'Yes, yes, Bedivere, we shall encompass that. We shall look at Europe, why we left and why ultimately the Eu was disbanded; we shall expect at the tragic situation in the United States, and we shall look at the abandonment of the Commonwealth states and the blight of Indonesia. But every bit well as that we shall also be looking closer to home, at our ain histories, and I apply the plural intentionally; at the rising rebels in the one-time Celtic countries, at the redefinition of New National Britain'due south borders, and at our absolute ruler himself, George Milton, who thus far has used all his electoral power to claw hold of democratic immunity, whose Party has long since been a change-mitt, change-face game of musical chairs with the aforementioned policies and people from one political party to the next. This brings me to my former point of why I invited yous hither: because I believe that you three are the smartest, the most open up, the about questioning, and that y'all will do good most from hearing things from an alternative viewpoint—not always my ain, and not e'er comfy—that the three of yous may one day take what y'all have learned hither and remember it when the world darkens, and this country truly forgets that which information technology once was.'

There was a deep silence. Even Arthur, who was used to Marvin'due south tangential speeches, was momentarily confounded, and in the tranquillity that followed he observed Bedivere to encounter what he thought of this side to their teacher. His eyes and so slipped to Morgan, and he was surprised to detect that she was transfixed.

'But I must stress to all of you, it is my job at risk in doing this, my life at stake. And so when you speak of this, speak merely amongst yourselves, and tell no one what it is we discuss here. Understood?'

There was a serial of dumbstruck nods of consent. Bedivere cleared his pharynx with a small cough.

'And hither I thought this was only going to be an extra-curricular history club,' he joked."

"You would argue that nosotros're not a parasitic life form?' Arthur challenged. Morgan seemed wounded.

'Do yous call back I'one thousand parasitic, Arthur?' asked Bedivere, his eyebrows raised.

'No, simply—'

'How about Gwen?' he added, teasing.

'Of course not, I didn't say that the private is parasitic, simply our current fashion of life. Consumerism is destroying the planet. No, it has destroyed the planet. Why practice you recall one-half the earth has starved to death? There'due south not enough left to support everyone.'

'Says who?' Morgan snapped.

'Says common sense.' He could experience the wine loosening his tongue. 'People are lying when they say things aren't that bad. What do you think all those wars were for? We were all merely fighting over who got to consume the last éclair.'

Marvin's stomach growled, and he awkwardly cleared his throat."
