"Wonder what's happened to my punctuation since coming in here? Can't be the Calvados, I've only had a few sips yet... I could offer that squirrel some of these nuts, but they are smoked, it might think I was being sarcastic."

Never been tempted by incest, but he had a point about the dancing, my knees won't take it any more."

Thinks "I'll risk the nuts. Then maybe the lady with the oranges, cookies, and the pint mug of wine will tell me about the krill, she looks like someone who would know."

"Do you think your friend would like some smoked almonds?"
