    Summary

    “‘I might be wrong,’ said Glenda, ‘but if you don’t want to know what the things are that you don’t want to know, then that means that there are going to be even more things that you don’t want to know and I imagine that sooner or later, if that goes on, your head will cave in around the hole.’” –Unseen Academicals.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "How do you tell a man you have mistaken his measure? Does one bring such things up at the end of a meeting? Does one ask him to have dinner? Commander—I appear, humiliatingly, to have idolized you as a teenager. Your Grace—it has come to my attention that we have never discussed our shared remembrance of those bad old days. More shared, it seems, then I had understood. Come, sit with me."
    Fucking destroy me.

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?
