QuoteOliver Smith, spy on Her Majesty's service - not that she knew about it, because that tended to spoil the whole secrecy thing and really, who'd want an un-secret spy, anyway?

''It was a dark and stormy, well not really stormy, more just a bit cloudy, with a bit of wind, it was dark though, night.''
i love it!
