Another serving of delicious dark story telling.

Note the other reviewer took away half the points over a grammatical error. Should be an exam marker and then we would see less passes by relatively poor English language students. No comment about the quickly over serving. Mind you when I put brackets in a review it is not acceptable yet I saw a few in the other offering.

The twists that came through within this story reminded me maybe of short stories by respected authors from over 100 years ago. And tales of the unexpected. I have enjoyed the League of Gentlemen for some years and while there are tales that are of lesser drama or comedy it has not put me off just enjoying the very 'twisted' imaginative minds at work.

Not having the gift of a perfect understanding of the wonderful English language I just enjoyed the the sad and sorry tale.

Perhaps our Sphinx could have been allowed to carry out the sexual threat of giving her one to add to his misery. He did nearly grope her.
