Give
the masses opium, or at least an opportunity for a second hand buzz.
This is Cartney's mantra as he supplies his partiers with what
appear to be giant marijuana stalks jutting out of wooden missionary
servers, for shame. His affinity for snuff has its own contemporary
applications, and Cartney is willing to share that, too—even with
Steed. What goes around comes around, he must figure, since Steed
may be his very own William Wilson (the titular character from an
Edgar Allen Poe tale) come to haunt him into further acts of defying
gravity.

Washing
down this airy concoction of illusionary narcotics is his healthy
supply of bottled Liquid Smile—be it wine, champagne, whiskey or
the really hard stuff. It would seem that Cartney is only capable of
overdosing on his Queen of Sin, Mrs. Peel—the very intoxicant that
has so many of us hooked!
