344longer tonight and despite feeling sad, I can enjoy my evening a little without rushing off as usual. So, I guess that%u2019s one consolation.%u201d%u201cWell, I%u2019m very sorry to hear this. It%u2019s a terrible illness especially for those who love the victim. If you need to pour your heart out and release your sadness and struggle, I%u2019m here most nights and I have a good ear.%u201d%u201cThank you,%u201d Harry said. %u201cA pint of Hob Goblin, please.%u201dBetty served him the pint. %u201cWhat did she do, your wife?%u201dHarry took a sip, %u201cAh. That%u2019s good. My wife? She was an artist. She was really brilliant and sold them through many of the local galleries.%u201d%u201cI loved painting. Sadly, I don%u2019t do it much now. What kind of things did she paint? I%u2019d love to see them. What gallery are they in?%u201d%u201cI think most of them are probably sold. If you wish to drop by anytime, I could show you them. They are something to behold. Quite extraordinary.%u201dShe watched him drink half of his beer.%u201cThank you. I%u2019d love that. I%u2019ll see if I can, quite soon.%u201dShe turned and saw others waiting at the bar.%u201cExcuse me, Harry. Thirsty mouths to serve.%u201d She said and walked off.Harry looked at her as she walked away. She always wore very short dresses and she had a very charming figure and a beautiful face. %u2018Oh, to be a young buck again%u2019, he thought.She laughed and joked with some older customers, served them drink and went back to Harry. %u201cThey%u2019re very rude sometimes. Especially the men, but I don%u2019t mind. I see that as people grow older, they become less and less inhibited. Another pint, Harry?%u201d%u201cYes, please. The same again. May I buy you one or you take a tip as the price of one?%u201d%u201cThat%u2019s very kind, but I won%u2019t. I like to think customers don%u2019t feel Insanity
