The other, slightly shorter tale here is equally fun, and actually has more of the razor-sharp, cutting observational one-liners one might expect. It ends in a complete snake's nest of shenanigans regarding a married homosexual, his bride, his occasional lover, and his parents. While this has the greater laughs both stories are definitely on the witty side, and while there is the occasional twinge of one getting what one might have expected, the company of Mr Bennett is one of charm and intelligence and his tales always belie their whimsy with something more substantial.
