Oh yes, you did mention previously that you’d worked in the Trade. I will, therefore, take your advice and turn down Ms. Viner’s no doubt generous offer of employment when she calls. 🙂
I may have to go back to Moby Dick and ‘skip ahead’ to the good bit. Dreadful behaviour, I know, but quite honestly it got a bit tedious. However, my sister tells me that the actual Whale Hunt is really good. I know Melville worked on a Whaler in his youth, so he knew first hand what a hunt was like.
Meanwhile, I’m still traipsing (non-rhythmically) across the sands of Arrakis . . .
