Meet Mister Johnson, loyal servant to His Majesty the King of England… Probationary
 clerk to the District Officer at Fada, Nigeria, Johnson is fully alive 
to the importance of his office. He knows he has a duty to be 
well-turned out in the European manner, that his wife must wear English 
gowns whether she likes it or not, and that they are obliged as a couple
 to entertain lavishly on every conceivable occasion. Every tradesman in
 town knows how seriously Johnson takes these duties; every tradesman in
 town has a ledger full of his debts. He may not spell too 
accurately, but he writes a beautiful hand. He may not file very well, 
but he replaces expertise with enthusiasm. Indeed, he may drive his 
employers wild with exasperation, but there is something about having 
Johnson around the place: his ingenuousness is so touching, his optimism
 so infectious. To the core he is an official of the British Colonial 
Service. How, though, to protect the Empire from its most devoted upholder? How, come to that, to protect Johnson from himself?
