GEORGE: My story about Monsieur Du Clix may amuse you.-I've just read it, George, and it did. I can't believe you only won third prize. The secret of the name alone is worth a gold medal. You don't happen to write under the name Dan Brown, do you? The linguistic pedant in me must point out that the French for "it's over" is: "C'est fini". "Finis" is plural. But they really shouldn't have relegated you to bronze just for that. I shall now look forward to reading the other stories on your website.-GEORGE: I am extremely sceptical about finding any worthwhile truth in most of this mystical esotericism.-I'm encouraged by your use of "most". I don't suppose you'd like to tell us what mystical esotericism you think might reveal a worthwhile truth. (If you don't answer, that will be an answer.)
