Oh, thank you! I think Mr Waverly will probably relent about Napoleon having to pay eventually, anyway, but I can't imagine he'd be amused by getting a phone call saying one of his agents had been wrestling with linen trolleys. I hadn't actually thought of Clockwork Orange, but that's definitely possible. I had a dream when I was younger that involved scuttling clockwork spiders which tasted of clockwork, so that's never quite left my head.
