A hush fell across the room as Bentley climbed to his feet and thrust an accusatory finger at Darcy. “You, sir, are a buffoon!” he said.
“And you, sir,” returned Darcy, “are a bounder of the third ring.”

Bentley, visibly enraged by this, withdrew from within his waistcoat a glove of immaculate whiteness, with which he proceeded to strike Darcy repeatedly about the face. “I demand satisfaction! Satisfaction, I say!” cried he.

“Very well, sir, I shall give you such at dawn tomorrow,” replied Darcy. “With what shall we duel?”
Bentley smirked. “I choose – the Banjo!”

A gasp rippled through the room as Darcy's eyes narrowed. “It is just as I suspected all along. You, sir, are no gentleman.”

First day back to work and it's about as depressing as you might expect. Nothing specifically bad – I have documentation to update but I don't think I have the version I need to perform the updates on and the person I need to speak to about it is still on holiday – but just the general back-to-work post-vacation malaise.

I respectfully submit to you, the reader, that anyone who enjoys going to work more than not going to work has something wrong with them.

On the up side, I got a Galileo Thermometer for christmas. Which is great.
