I am, in point of fact, a particularly haughty and exclusive person. I can

trace my ancestry back to a protoplasmal primordial atomic globule.
Consequently, my family pride is something inconceivable. I cant help it. I
was born sneering. But I struggle hard to overcome this defect. So, when all
the great officers of State resigned at once because they were too proud to
serve under a former tailor, I unhesitatingly accepted all their positions at
once. Consequently, it is my degrading duty to serve as First Lord of the
Treaury, Lord Chief Justice, Commander-in-Chief, Groom of the Back Stairs,
and Archbishop of Titipu, all rolled into one. And with a most obscenely high
salary. A person of my family! A salaried minion! I do it, it revolts me, but I
do it.
