Herbert slumped onto the sofa, sighing. "This new safety protocol at Oakhaven Industries is a real drag," he grumbled to Margot, who was sorting laundry.

Margot looked up, folding a towel with precision. "What's wrong now, Herbert? Is it about following the rules?"

"It's about my conscience, Margot!" Herbert declared dramatically. "My predecessor, old Mr. Abernathy, just�?� ignored everything. Now I have to actually *do* inspections."

Margot raised an eyebrow. "Your conscience? Since when did you develop one of those? Last week you were trying to sell 'miracle' fertilizer made from�?� well, I don't even want to think about it."

Herbert waved his hand dismissively. "That was just good old-fashioned capitalism, darling! This is different. They want me to check for�?� I don't know�?� leaks! And�?� dangerous�?� stuff!"

"Dangerous stuff that Mr. Abernathy probably overlooked for years," Margot pointed out, unimpressed. "Someone could get hurt."

Herbert shuddered. "Exactly! And if they traced it back to me�?� even if the tip was anonymous�?� my donut fund would be in serious jeopardy!"

"So you're worried about donuts, not safety?" Margot asked, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Well, safety *and* donuts," Herbert corrected. "Besides, some of the equipment is so crude, I don't even know where to begin!"

Margot sighed. "Herbert, just do your job properly. Think of it as�?� protecting the town's supply of donuts. That should motivate you."

Herbert considered this. "Protecting the donuts�?� You know, you might be onto something, Margot."
