“When we have a dilemma”—his KitKat story is true, by the way, but is maybe for another time—“we ask the person who will give us the answer we already know.
That’s the problem with going out. One thing leads to another, and you find yourself going out again.
But the more you get to know Paul, the more you see that he is ambitious, just not for money. He is ambitious for happiness. For himself and others.
“I did think you perked up a bit during the reception,” says Joyce. “I should have known killing was involved.”
Davey sizes Ron up. Ron has been “sized up” before, but this time it feels like it might be for a coffin.

He tried to let me join in, but all I really did was make tea. You have to play to your strengths.
When things are noisy, and everyone is asking you to look at something right this instant, we mustn’t forget all the things still going on in quiet corners. There’s the news, and then there’s life.
