this is the true meaning of opprobrium, pindrop thought despondently.
he had always been fond of jenderson, but enough was enough.
some people might find humor in the situation.
or even delight, strange as it might seem.
quarterstaff would probably suggest another attempt at exorcism.
zapfrey, the world famous expert on jurisprudence, would certainly advise caution.
suddenly pindrop remembered his dream about the three koala bears on the subway.
and the eggplant sandwich left on the kitchen table.
what a bore consciousness was!
suddenly sophonisba bustled into the room.
i think, sophonisba announced, you have had your quota of despond for the day.
quotas are for gigantic corporations, pindrop responded tartly.
and do not the corporations rule all our lives? sophonisba answered evenly.
a curious emphasis on sobriety rules all our lives.
but sobriety answers to no quotas.
neither does romantic fantasy.
i see you delight in having the last word.
really? i was not conscious of being so.
let us change the subject. have you heard from zapfrey?
you mean the world weary gastronome?
no, i meant the sober expert on jurisprudence.
i have always found experts on jurispridence to have delightful personalities.
have it your way,
it is the gastronomes who bring everybody down.
i feel i am trapped in an orangutan’s fantasy, pindrop sighed.
a tornado is predicted for next week, sophonisba replied.
well, pindrop observed, that might sober all of us up, might it not?
