\u2018I\u2019m interested in history,\u2019 I said. \u2018Why don\u2019t you tell me what happened.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018Why would a young man like you be interested in history?\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018So I can avoid repeating it.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2018Do you know how gladiator fights got started?\u2019 I asked. <\/p>\n

Lesley indicated that not only did she not know this interesting historical fact, but that she would like me to impart it sometime before old age and death.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2018Tell me that wasn\u2019t a spider?\u2019 said Ms Winstanley in a deceptively calm tone. <\/p>\n

\u2018Can\u2019t have been,\u2019 I said. <\/p>\n

\u2018Thank god for that,\u2019 she said. \u2018Can\u2019t stand spiders.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018It was too big,\u2019 I said. \u2018You can\u2019t scale an exoskeleton up that far.\u2019 The inverse square law can be such a comfort sometimes. Plus I definitely remembered something about gas diffusion and box lungs or something like that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
