'I Smashed The Treadmill But The Golems Repaired It. Why? And I Let The Animals Go But They Just Milled Around Stupidly. Some Of Them Even Went Back To The Slaughter Pens. Why?’ 'Welcome to the world, Constable Dorfl.’ 'Is It Frightening To Be Free?’ 'You said it.’ 'You Say To People “Throw Off Your Chains” And They Make New Chains For Themselves?’ 'Seems to be a major human activity, yes.’ Dorfl rumbled as he thought about this. ‘Yes,’ he said eventually. ‘I Can See Why.
