Nobody used a wheelchair.

I said it at a production meeting on the twenty-seventh of November in front of six people, in a completely level voice, and a ramp appeared, and the ramp meant that Vivienne Bramhall could walk onto a stage without hinging her spine or lifting her left leg eight inches four times.

It was a lie and it was a small one and it took me about four seconds to decide to tell it, and it was the first one.

I have thought about it a great deal since.
