‘Horses and voters,’ the baron liked to say among friends, ‘if you do not put blinders on them, they will throw you into the nearest ditch.’
“I want to know who you are. People talk about a voice calling in the wilderness. All through the Old Testament a voice, which is not the voice of God but which knows what is on God’s mind, is crying out. While I am waiting, you could do me a favour. Who are you?”
