===On Duty===
* This letter was addressed to the Queen of England, and was subsequently published in the London Times at the conclusion of the mysterious case of the stolen crown jewels (XVI).  In this case a robotic rat had been given a series of coded instructions that allowed it to sneak independently through the ventilation shafts of the tower of London to take the famous gems.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;''... while Your Majesty is more than generous in offering an increase in my retaining fee, I must decline.  England's last sovereign forced the measure upon me, and I made the condition of my acceptance that it should never be raised above the mean salary of all English Subjects.  I was born in England, and, God willing, I will die there as well, but in the meantime I shall do my utmost to protect her interests, both at home and abroad.''<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;''Man was not meant to live alone; we are social creatures.  If we are to live in a society, then each member must contribute according to his or her abilities to the good of that greater organism when the need arises.  If the Rabbit is to have his England, then England must have its Rabbit.''
