One of Igor’s former masters had made a tick-tock man, all levers and clockwork. Instead of a brain, it had a long tape. Provided everything was very carefully positioned, the thing could sweep the floor and make a passable cup of tea. If everything WASN’T carefully positioned, or if the ticking, clicking thing hit an unexpected bump, then it’d strip the plaster off the walls and make a furious cup of cat.
