“The gifted individual perceives the essence and disregards the excess as mere surplus.”
Thomas Carlyle
“Good morning.”
“Good morning.”
“Will you return her greeting?”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“She seeks to take you from me, to steal my husband right before my very eyes!”
“Don’t dramatize the matter; she only wishes to hire you.”
“And you consent to this?”
“Why not? The sum she offers is more than sufficient.”
“Does jealousy not stir within you?”
“Jealousy? Of what? I know she does not desire you; her intent is merely to keep her husband by enduring your presence for a few fleeting days.”
“Doesn’t that give you greater reason to refuse?”
“I empathize with her cause, and she will compensate me for the loss of you.”
“But do you truly grasp my intent?”
“I do.”
“Then tell me, what is it?”
“To savor the forbidden fruit of her body, which has eluded your grasp for fifteen long years.”
“You knew all along?”
