"As long as Charlie Townsend's got her [his wife] to depend pn he's pretty safe
never to do a foolish thing, and that's the first thing necessary for a man to get on
in Government service. They don't want clever men; clever men have ideas cause trouble;
they want men who have charm and tact and who can be counted on never to make a blunder.
Oh, yes, Charlie Townsend will get to the top of the tree all right."
