     Dear Herr Bowman,
     
     'What the fic do you mean '[sic]'?'

     Simply that the grammatical error in the quoted text
     was not mine.

     'Furthermore, baby, calling me a teetotaler is like calling
     Sophia Loren a raddled old bitch.'

     I always did think that raddled old bitch was overrated.

     'Ask anyone. I was the most oedematous, brain-drilled,
     liver-blocked drunk known to Davy's since you-know-who
     staggered home to add yet another curlicue to Ulysses.'
     
     Ha. I'll believe that when you start wearing a patch
     over your left eye and writing yes yes unintelligible
     sentences yes I say yes because you're obsessed yes
     by the fishgods of Dundrum yes yes and whether this
     met him pike hoses yes is just a pile of nonsense yes
     or something to actually worry about yes.

     Until then, drink your tea and leave us real drinkers
     to our twists. We'd like to get serious over our cups
     and I'm afraid you're disturbing us with your silly
     European jokes.

     Oh. And if that's no chicken, you should put it away.
     There are children running around here. I'm afraid I'm
     going to have to call the archbishop for a little support
     if you don't behave.

     Cecilia B.
