Stanley Ellin - 'The Speciality Of The House'Ī guy is introduced to the delights of Shirro's restaurant, the finest men-only(!!) restaurant one could ever wish to find, especially when "Lamb Amirstan" is on the menu. Down below his friends have got bored and are leaving. When he gets nearly to the top he finds the last ten feet of ladder has rusted away. He tells himself there will be some kind of platform at the top of the ladder. He gets to forty feet up and it hits him how crazy and dangerous this is. After some banter, bragging and teasing he can't back down, so up he goes. They lark about and one of the boys, trying to impress one of the girls, says he could easily climb up the six-storey-high gasometer, which has a rusty ladder attached to the side. Not my favourite of this series, but here's a summary of the best stories :īrilliant - A bunch of teenagers are loafing around and come to some disused gasworks.
