Ach! What black magic is this? A small daemon entrapped within the Bakelite innards of the arcane device? Or some unholy mechanical mockery of life---yae, and of reasoning itself!---to make your connection without human agency? Or is it something far worse? The trapped and enslaved souls of a thousand switchboard girls, doomed to turn the steel dial plate, like some new Wheel of Pain, for eternity?
No, Sir, I do not believe that I much like this new-fangled invention of yours.
