The Rules

Teddy has a set of 'rules' he pretends to live by. They're fluid things, tending to mean different things in different situations. He's been adding to the list at the rate of about one a month.

• Rule No. 1: Never reveal your true background
• Rule No. 2: Always remember where you are
• Rule No. 3: Always remember who you’re talking to
• Rule No. 4: Never get drunk in a strange town
• Rule No. 5: Never be the last one to join in a fight
• Rule No. 6: Avoid religion and politics
• Rule No. 7: Never forget a favour
• Rule No. 8: Forget the damn rules
• Rule No. 9: Be wary of the ‘simple job’
