I went to a blogger meetup yesterday, but didn't see anyone for an hour. So I left.
He sat alone in the crowd, casually reading his book and sipping a pint.He was waiting for some people, but he preferred to read instead of wait.

Sure, he had been early, but now they were late.
Was he at the right place? Did he get the time wrong?

Finished. Not bad.
He shrugged, paid his tab, tipped generously, and left.
Not a bad evening at all, he thought.
The book was "Attack Poodles" by Woolcott, and it's not a bad book at all.
