"I bow to your superior knowledge of the classics. Let us proceed." "Oh yes the introduction. There must be one. It was the introduction with all those wrong details that sold the other book." "You overwhelm me. I never penned the memoir with that intention." "If you won't do one, Mrs. Keynes must!" "My sister leads a busy life. I could not ask her. I will do it myself since you insist."
