But Pliny couldn't get those banana points out of his head. He hadn't gained his reputation as an intrepid researcher for nothing. Besides he was very curious to know why a book had been written about his nephew's women. What on earth had the lad got up to after his uncle had all too prematurely left the scene?
So he googled up the Mighty Ape again. He discovered there that readers could buy certain items with the banana points earned from writing customer reviews. He looked at the list of items. Many of them were posters. There was one entitled The Elder Scrolls. I wouldn't mind that one, he thought to himself. He was also quite intrigued by The Ark of Truth poster, and one that depicted a knowing-looking young couple called Edward and Bella. The first two posters cost 3200 banana points each, and Edward and Bella cost 2200 banana points.
The Edward and Bella poster reminded him of his nephew, Pliny the Younger. Perhaps he would enjoy having that one on his wall. It depended really on what Pliny's Women turned out to be about.
He hesitated. He thought, why not?
It cost eighty five dollars plus shipping, but he could afford it.
He ordered the book.
