SUMMARY: After his misplacing his driver's license, Mr. 
Wilson, loses his employer, Mr. Pendrake. He recovers the 
former before the latter, thanks to one of the hotel 
lounge's waitresses, Stephanie.

COMMENTARY: I can see how my summary may not get your juices 
flowing, but I still think that some of you will enjoy this 
story. If you prefer stories that involve lots sex, then you 
will probably want to skip this one. The author does a 
wonderful job painting the scenery and the characters. The 
details he includes fit together nicely and make the 
characters and the setting seem very real. I found the 
scenes involving Mr. Wilson and Stephanie to be quite 
arousing. The scenes involving Mr. Wilson and Mr. Pendrake 
weren't arousing, but they do add perspective to the story.

If I were scoring this story primarily on the basis of how 
arousing I found it, then I would probably say it is Very 
Good, but not Excellent. On the whole, though, this is an 
Excellent story: arousing, very well written, and very well 
edited.

SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: Excellent
