Wizard

– And how was the film?
– It was very good. Not as many hobbits this time, compared to the previous ones. Mainly dwarves. You get many more dwarves for your money. And about the same number of elves. And various other more gruesome things. There's quite a lot of gruesome things, to tell the truth: orcs and goblins and trolls and irate albino wolf things. It all gets a bit overwhelming at times: there is so much going on that you can't always take in all the details, even on the big screen. And then things leap out at you, in a three-dimensional sort of way. And it goes on for hours. It was difficult for me to keep awake at times.
– I thought it was full of fast-paced action and not so mild peril.
– Definitely. It's not a film to doze through, particularly if you don't want horrific orcish nightmares. The problem was I didn't get much sleep last night. Food poisoning, I think.
– Someone is trying to murder you? That sounds quite serious. You ought to tell someone about it. The police usually take an interest in that sort of thing.
– I mean, I think it was just something I ate. Possibly even something I cooked. Which is a pity, given I'm usual careful about that sort of thing.
– You can never be too careful about hygiene in the kitchen. You should wash your hands.
– Yes. I do. And the vegetables. And work surfaces.
– Glad to hear it. Perhaps you forgot to cook the meat.
– Perhaps.
– Still, it may be worth informing the police. Just to be on the safe side.
