In the middle of July, Roger was making his first ministerial speech. I did not need reminding, having drafted enough of them, how much speeches mattered — to parliamentary bosses, to any kind of tycoon. Draft after draft: the search for the supreme, the impossible, the more than Flaubertian perfection; the scrutiny for any phrase that said more than it ought to say, so that each speech at the end was bound, by the law of official inexplicitness, to be more porridge-like than when it started out in its first draft. I had always hated writing drafts for other people, and nowadays got out of it. To Hector, to Douglas, it was part of the job, which they took with their usual patience, their usual lack of egotism: when a minister crossed out their sharp, clear English and went in for a literary composition of his own, they gave a wintry smile and let it stand.

The narrator of the text considers that the process of rewriting the speech multiple times contributes to its becoming more focused and direct.

Comentário do professor
Comentário: A afirmação está errada porque o narrador expressa que, após várias reescritas, os discursos tendem a se tornar "mais porridge-like", ou seja, mais vagos e imprecisos, ao invés de mais focados e diretos. Ele critica o processo de revisão, indicando que as tentativas de aperfeiçoamento geralmente resultam em uma falta de clareza e uma perda do impacto original, refletindo uma insatisfação com a forma como a linguagem se torna menos incisiva ao longo das revisões.
