Chinese Box

The Senator was in the meeting with various people including a Dolphin insurance man Welling and the aforementioned aviation expert Telling when he saw the louche figure reclining in the armchair.

It seems remote, but nonetheless not impossible that the black box will return in some other guise.

Davis, the Senator’s Chief Doctor of Spin, who was also present, was the only one who appeared to be enjoying the situation.

It’s like one of them there Russian dolls… You open up one doll and there’s another smaller.

Except these are boxes, said the aviation expert Telling.

Whatever you say, Mr Telling, boxes, dolls. Smacks of oriental to me. What you reckon, Frank, we got ourselves a Chinese box?
