Chapter 107

We finished our meal and two bottles of wine, and we were ready to call it an evening, so we made our way back to the hotel. We met in the hotel dining room the next morning and were more than pleased with the available breakfast choices.

Looking at the menu, Steve said, “Uncle Charles, what does it mean by ‘full English breakfast’?”

“Do you remember the movie Four Weddings and a Funeral?”

“Sure,” Steve said. “It was cool.”

“Do you remember at the very beginning, where the guy who later became the subject of the funeral had a skillet in his hand containing his breakfast?”

“Sort of.”

“That skillet contained a full English breakfast,” I said. “Everything was fried and swimming in grease.”

“I think I’ll pass,” Steve said.

“Good idea,” Philip said.
