    “I have heard Mary explain the correct way to prepare potatoes four hundred and fifty three times.”

    Alison couldn’t help but look back up at that. Four hundred and…

    “I have successfully taught Robin the alphabet no fewer than eleven times.” He drew himself up, his steps animated, eyes gleaming. “He always forgets. I have seen other ghosts go half mad with tedium, trapped too long with their own thoughts and ennui after mere decades, before finally being sucked o— blast, Mary —before moving on."

    AKA why are the residents of Button House such nightmares to live with?

    Summary

    I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.

     

    As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?

     

    Kind regards,
    New Manager

    Summary

    If he’d been born in another time and place, Bertrand Bell would’ve spent his days packing weights into sacks of flour. Or he’d be passing bricks off as copper ingots, or he’d be telling stories—a jilted young man with a ring worth a great deal of money and nothing else, wanting only to go home—well, okay, in his youth he’d pulled that one a couple of times.
    If he were a different person he’d be a different person; there’s not much point in dwelling on it.
