The dot in a URL confides its secret: "Every time you switch off [the computer], I sneak away to have tea"--black ink, actually--"with my friend the Duchess of Amalfi." Steadman uses his trademark splenetic style to show the dot splattering everything it encounters (the Duke of Bogshott, etc.). This story is high on concept but low on meaning.
