The Miraculous Mr. Horace

I

"Sir, would you like some more coffee?" The Butler kindly asked. "No thank you, Albert but I do enjoy that Frittata you made the other day, I would be delighted to have some." The man was reading one of his many books in his library. Today he was reading a drama tale. A half an hour later, Albert returned with the frittata. Just as he was about to leave, the man asked "Albert, would you like to sit with me and have a chat?" Albert sit down on the leather footstool next to the man. "This is an impressive library, sir." He said . "Thank you. I love reading. It's like the sophisticated man's whiskey. Once you start, you never stop. What's your favourite book, Albert?" The man replied. "I really like the new book By F. Scott Fitzgerald called The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button." Albert said. "Books are my only tranquility from the real world. I find the world of 1942 disturbing, you know with all of the drinking and sex, the real immorality of it is mind-boggling." The man said before he took a sip of his coffee. The two sat awkwardly until the sound of a car broke the silence. "Who's car is that?" He asked. "Oh, that's the new neighbour. I believe he is a scientist.Should I let him in?" Albert replied. "No." The man responded. "But sir, I insist." Albert countered. "No. I'll think about it." The man replied. The man took another sip of his coffee and carried on.
