Yesterday

You take the seat next to the woman, and dig out 'Middlemarch'. "I see you are a George Elliot fan," she says to you, once the plane is in the air.

"Not a fan really," you reply, "I loved 'Mill on the Floss' but I am struggling a little with 'Middlemarch'. Its very size scares me."

"Oh, I'm not scared of size," she flirts. "The bigger the better, I say." She dips towards you a little at this point, allowing you a look at her ample cleavage. Suddenly it seems awfully hot in the cabin.
