“I’d hate to have your job,” said a voice to his left.

He shifted his focus and beamed down at the sceptical looking youngster, “all that responsibility.”

“Oh, it has its moments, you know,” smiled the Mason.

Again he shifted his focus to beam down at the incredulous youngster, “all that glory!”

“Oh, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be, you know,” he smiled.
