The Antiquer and I were lunching yesterday. At The Blue Duck Cafe. We both had cream of cauliflower and spinach soup and then we shared this monstrous lump of a thing called a coffee and hazelnut stack.
It's alright for some, isn't it?
Anyway, in between the usual gossiping and gutter sniping that is the hallmark of our conversations, the subject of the writer, Saki, came up. The Antiquer has become a bit of a fan. According to him, Saki was killed in World War I by a German sniper. His last words were to a fellow soldier, "Put that damn cigarette out!"
I think I might inform the health authorities. This may be the earliest recorded case of a death caused by passive smoking.
