In the right circumstances, I’m a big fan of eating alone. Often, on a Sunday evening, I go to a yoga class whose charm is largely that it gives me an alibi to avoid cooking family supper for once. I return to have boiled eggs and soldiers in silence with a book. Bliss.

Neither soldiers nor money can defend a king but only friends won by good deeds, merit, and honesty.

Benedict Cumberbatch
