>Concurrent dismay and delight.
That's exactly what I felt at the time too. To me it was always three-quarters delight and one-quarter dismay. A jangling rain of dancing gold coins is a delightful thing. Sure, now I have to go to the bank; but until that time I will walk around as a pirate, pockets full of doubloons.
- thaumasiotes 1y agoThe problem from a get-the-coins-into-circulation perspective is that the delight diminishes with exposure and the dismay doesn't.
- rkomorn 1y agoYeah, there's a moment when the weight of the change you're carrying becomes noticeable that elicits a "seriously?!" dismay response.
