Cover of Mark Twain
Image via WikipediaI finished "Innocents Abroad" by Mark Twain yesterday. I had wanted to read it for over forty years but it was either not in print or too expensive whenever I went looking. Finally, it turned up in a Twain collection for the Kindle and I got the whole set for free from Amazon. I very much enjoyed the book and now have the rest of the collection to look forward to. By way of a change, I have now begun Arnold Bennets "The Card" which was made into a film starring Alec Guinness many years ago.
My colleague, the one with the wicked sense of humour, couldn't contain himself when I simply ignored his actions of last week and just had to ask whether I had been fooled or not. I told him the truth, which did not please him too well, and left it at that. Within sixty seconds he was asking me what sort of revenge I would be taking. My reply worried him too as I prefer revenge to be taken cold and with a lot of thought beforehand. I shall now consider my options. A friend has given me several good suggestions but I have it in mind to take a long thoughtful pause now and see what I can cook up that doesn't involve his PC. This will worry him more than anything else.
