Ironically, while Pamela refused point--blank to face the facts about her estranged husband, she had become embroiled, through her job at the community relations committee, in an investigation into allegations of the spread of witchcraft among the officers at the local police station. Various stations did from time to time gain the reputation of being "out of control" -- Notting Hill, Kentish Town, Islington -- but witchcraft? Jumpy was sceptical. "The trouble with you," Pamela told him in her loftiest shootingstick voice, "is that you still think of normality as being normal. My God: look at what's happening in this country. A few bent coppers taking their clothes off and drinking urine out of helmets isn't so weird. Call it working-class Freemasonry, if you want. I've got black people coming in every day, scared out of their heads, talking about obeah, chicken entrails, the lot. The goddamn bastards are _enjoying_ this: scare the coons with their own ooga booga and have a few naughty nights into the bargain. Unlikely? Bloody _wake up_."
