Enjoying the bad times of someone else


This evening I was traveling by train when a couple took the seats opposite me. I was pretending to read but, of course, I was actually listening in on their conversation. And it was terrific.

"Alfred was really glad that we are going to celebrate christmas with them this year on the 25th." "Oh, and of course you didn't tell me!" "..."

"My mother thought that you could have been somewhat nicer to her."

I was enjoying myself so much that I thought that they might have been planted there by the NS to give me a good feeling about myself.
