Words from the Monastery (anthony.dauer@erols.com)

I dunno ... contemplating the times one can imagine that Mr.
Steed if captured would be expected to bite into his cyanide
filled false tooth for the good of Queen, God and Country ...
capture being equal to failure (if once cannot procure one's
own escape) all things considered and suicide an honorable
action in light of the former. While a lady on the other hand
is traditionally more valuable due to her child bearing and
chocolate chip cookie baking abilities (to name an extreme
few for brevity's sake). This causes the failure connotations
of her capture to be immediately overlooked in light of the
opportunity to save the damsel in distress ... something
equally honorable to the ritual suicide in consequence of a
man's failure to remain out of the enemy's hands.
volente Deo,
