• The seed of a bamboo tree is planted, fertilized and watered. Nothing happens for the first year.
  There´s no sign of growth.
  Not even a hint.
  The same thing happens - or doesn´t happen - the second year.
  And then the third year.
  The tree is carefully watered and fertilized each year,
  but nothing shows. No growth. No anything.
  For eight years it can continue. Eight years!
  Then - after the eight years of fertilizing and watering have passed, with nothing to show for it - the bamboo tree suddenly sprouts and grows thirty feet in three months!

• In 1494, King Charles VIII of France invaded Italy. Within months, his army collapsed and fled. It was routed not by the Italian army but by a microbe. A mysterious new disease spread through sex killed many of Charles’s soldiers and left survivors weak and disfigured. French soldiers spread the disease across much of Europe, and then it moved into Africa and Asia. Many called it the French disease. The French called it the Italian disease. Arabs called it the Christian disease. Today, it is called syphilis.

And it looks as if Tom might have got the girl again [in Colditz], damn his eyes.
