Suddenly, like Ray Bolger bouncing onstage for a final bow, he is there before me, has waved hello, left three sentences hanging on the air like a vapor trail from a Boeing 707, and is breezing back inside before I even hear him : "It's-just-frantic-around-here-I've-been -on -the -phone - all-morning...
