Extract from a book:
it was enough for one of those fa-vorites of His Distinguished Highness to issue a thoughtless decree. These young smart alecks see it, and they immediately imagine some fatal result and come run-ning to the rescue. They start trying to mend things, straighten things out, patch things up and untangle them. And so in-stead of using their energy to build their own vision of the future, instead of trying to put their irresponsible, destructive fan-tasies into action, our malcontents had to roll up their sleeves and start untangling what the ministers had knotted up. And there's always a lot of work to untangling!
So they untangle and untangle, drenched in sweat, wearing their nerves to shreds, running around, patching things up here and there, and in all this rush and over-work, in this whirlwind, their fantasies slowly evaporate from their hot heads.
