Very clear picture of an unpleasant character. Nice job on the worked-in clues to time period without coming right out and declaring a year or era.

I agree with the above comment. I wouldn’t like to work for this guy. I think it’s fairly fair. :D If you thought it’d fit, then by all means, go ahead and post it. I thought it was a nice entry. Thank you for entering! : )

Descriptive.. very descriptive.. what a horrible bloated man this Webber is.. totaly unlikeable. and can hear(not hear?) the silence in the room when he enters it.

nice descriptions, although I’ll be a “pompous ass” and point out a couple of spelling mistakes:
1) “Hurump.â€? he said, “holding… should be without the third ”
2) homburg not homborg
3) stroked not storked
4) pompous not pompass

Pyro,
You’re right, but it was written late at night when I was too lazy to look in the dictionary.
Besides, when I’m rich and famous, I’ll hire a proof reader. lol
