Ignorance or Bliss
by Calpurnia Lupin

"Pay attention." I said. "I'm ignoring you."

"Archie, don't be puerile." Wolfe muttered.

I, resolute and true to my word, ignored him.

Wolfe rang for beer, and I ignored him. Wolfe read a book, and I ignored him. Wolfe, having finished his beer from the glass, nevertheless placed his lips around the neck of the bottle, and I--

I ignored him. I ignored him, I ignored him, I ignored him.

But I noticed that the next book he read was a dirty one. Oh, sure, not *dirty* dirty. It was the Kinsey report, so it was all science and no smut, but I'm no sucker, he did it 'cause he figured I'd make the leap to dirty.

I, still resolute-- Ah, nuts.

Whoever said ignorance was bliss was obviously a fool.
