Bill Bryson Quote
In the morning a new man was behind the front desk. And how did you enjoy your stay, Sir? he asked smoothly.It was singularly execrable, I replied.Oh, excellent, he purred, taking my cardIn fact, I would go so far as to say that the principal value of a stay in this establishment is that it is bound to make all subsequent service-related experiences seem, in comparison, refreshing.He made a deeply appreciative expression as if to say, Praise indeed, and presnted my bill for signature. Well, we hope you'll come again.I would sooner have bowel surgery in the woods with a a stick.His expression wavered, then held there for a long moment. Excellent, he said again, but without a great show of conviction.
