Boredom is
essentially a thwarted desire for events, not
necessarily pleasant ones, but just occurrences
such as will enable the victim of ennui to know one

They were not allowed
to read, or to leave the room, because the theory
was that at that period their father conversed with

It must have been boredom as much as anything that
led to the practice of witch-hunts as the sole sport
by which winter evenings could be enlivened.
