Each week for Teaser Tuesday the idea is to pick two sentences between lines 7 and 12 from any page in the book you’re currently reading without giving away ‘spoilers’.
This week’s teaser is not quite conforming to the rules as it is more than two sentences and is between lines 11 and 15 from page 17 of The Various Flavours of Coffee by Anthony Capella:
‘A merchant is someone who trades. Ergo, if I do not trade, I am not a merchant.’
‘But a writer, by the same token, must therefore be someone who writes,’ I pointed out. ‘It is not strictly necessary to be read as well. Only desirable.’
