Actually, if you saw Henry's Office you'd understand. Henry works
in a spacious, grandiose Office with plush mauve carpeting, floor-to-ceiling
windows overlooking downtown Toronto from the top floor of the
University's tallest building.  Expensive art hangs on the walls,
he has a gigantic curved solid oak desk delicately decorated with
pseudo-high-tech paperweights and the like, and when in the Office
(and in the presence of its Occupant), a hush comes over one.

(Oh yes, I forgot. To get to the Office you have to go through
the machine room...)
