The Importance Of Being Alice (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
I have no memory of this purchase. “This day,” Elliott said to a gull that sat on the railing of the cabin’s minuscule deck and pecked in a desultory manner at a bit of bread it had scavenged up somewhere, “is one of the longest I’ve ever known. It should most definitely be seven o’clock by now, shouldn’t it?” The words spoken aloud shocked him into adding, “Not that I am looking forward to dinner with Alice, mind you. It’s just that I’ve been in the cabin all day, and I’ve written the amount I set myself to write, and then some, and now I am hungry and thirsty and could do with a break. That’s all very reasonable, isn’t it, gull? It’s not as if I’ve been wishing I could have gone with the others to see the windmills. I’ve seen windmills. Once you’ve seen four or five, you’re really at the limit of windmill appreciation, and nothing further can be served by seeing more.” Except the fact that a little fresh air and exercise is good for the creative processes.
