  Now most people in Alice's position would give up.

  Not Alice. She has courage which can only be described as awesome.

  Against all odds, over a noisy telephone line, tapped by the tax
  authorities and the secret police, Alice will happily attempt,
  with someone she doesn't trust, whom she can't hear clearly, and
  who is probably someone else, to fiddle her tax return and to
  organise a coup d'etat, while at the same time minimising the cost
  of the phone call.'
