hey, it was free food and the wine was really good.) Though the hostess attracted an interesting cast wind of characters, she herself had little to say. Or, rather, she had a lot to wind say, but none of it was particularly interesting—not that that slowed her down. About halfway through the meal she wind would launch into a monologue, pressing her point home in a slow, plodding, utterly lackluster style. Invariably, someone would grow bored and try to derail her. As others joined in the mutiny, the chatter grew louder, the jokes dirtier, the topics all over the map. For a while it looked like we had earned a reprieve. The conversation was fun again, moving fluidly like good conversation (and good games ...) should. But the hostess would wait patiently, and when the inevitable silence fell over the table, she would pick up exactly where she had left off, trudging inexorably to the bitter end. Realizing we were bested, we would give up, sit quietly and take our medicine, washed down with lots of the hostess's wine.
