• Even in the stifling bosom of the town,
  A garden, in which nothing thrives, has charms
  That soothes the rich possessor; much consol'd,
  That here and there some sprigs of mournful mint,
  Or nightshade, or valerian, grace the well
  He cultivates.

'I’m looking for a fat, cross-eyed hunchback,' he explains, stifling a giggle. 'A prosthetic hump would do.' His delight evaporates when asked about his three grandchildren. 'Am I a doting grandfather?' He pauses. 'I’m a … something grandfather, yes.' The fact that De Bono remains unperturbed by this lack betrays an emotionally austere childhood, and his passions for play, toys, and bad jokes tell of the same deprivation.
