   Hi, All!   
      
   From "The Gun Seller", by Hugh Laurie.   
   A few questions for the second paragraph:   
      
   -----Beginning of the citation-----   
   I was ushered into a large, oak-panelled room, with   
   shelves of Regina versus The Rest Of The World on three   
   walls, and a row of wooden filing cabinets along the   
   fourth. There was a photograph on the desk of three   
   teenage children, who looked as if they'd been bought   
   from a catalogue, and next to it, a signed picture of   
   Denis Thatcher. I was chewing on the peculiar fact that   
   both these photographs were pointing outwards from the   
   desk, when a connecting door opened, and I was suddenly   
   in the presence of Spencer.   
      
   And quite a presence it was. He was a taller version of   
   Rex Harrison, with greying hair, half-moon spectacles   
   and a shirt so white it must have been running off the   
   mains. I didn't actually see him start the clock as he   
   sat down.   
   ----- The end of the citation -----   
      
   1. What is "half-moon spectacles"?   
      
   2. "a shirt so white it must have been running off the   
   mains"?   
      
   3.  "I didn't actually see him start the clock as he   
   sat down."   
   Which clock?   
      
   Bye, All!
