    LEP stopped singing.  “Yes?”

    “Tell me something about yourself,” she said.  “Talk to me for a bit.”

    “There’s nothing to tell,” said LEP with uncharacteristic modesty.

    “I’m sure there is.”

    “Well, you’re quite right.  There is.  And every bit of it is phenomenally interesting.”

    “Go on, then.”  She continued with her recharging.

    “I’m not.  But it’s got to be better than your singing.”
