“How many of these have you
been to? This is my first and last” Number 6 told his Observer, or rather
Little Bo-Peep!
There he is, Number 6 as
himself, at the Ball. He’s supposed to be dancing with Number 240, in fact the
Supervisor as the Queen of Sheba tells Number 240 “Don’t stop dance.” But
straight away Number 6 folds his arms, and in so doing instantly puts up a
barrier between himself and Little Bo-Peep, as well as keeping his distance
from her. Number 240 does dance a little, a dance which seems vaguely to have something to do with “The
Twist!” While Number 6 just walks backwards for the most part, making no
attempt to dance with the young woman, but he’s good at talking as he tries to
pump 240 for information. It’s as though Number 6 cannot allow himself to enjoy
himself for one minute. As little Bo-Peep, she is forced to dance alone, trying
to dance “The Twist” in a long flowing dress!
Be seeing you
