To give a wild, barbaric look to the boys who represented Clovis' henchmen, the sister superintendent of the wardrobe had tacked up their white trousers to the knee.

And occasionally Kirby was obliged to summon his henchman to correct or amend the day's tally sheet.

Covertly the American watched his henchman while pretending to make ready for bed.
