Of course, officer, you wish to see my papers?
Of course, of course. Here they are. I carry them
with me at all times. Look, here. Here, you see
where it says: 'Cert.: A la Recherche du Temps Perdu
- complèt, Novembre 20 '99 - P.J.Levoisier,
Notaire Publique.' What's that you say? First Proust
certificate you've seen? Unique? Surely not. I know
of at least one other. Yes, indeed, my son's. Is that so?
You're too kind. Ah but, chez nous, we are all lovers
of La Belle France. Bon soir, mon capitaine.
You must remember, Jim, that while we Dubs will gladly
quote the first paragraph & the last - & even more gladly
trot round Killiney in a hansom pissed to the gills &
wearing funny hats on June whenever - none of us
would ever dream of trudging through the bits in between.
That activity is reserved strictly for American academics.
As for theWake. This is where my kidding about the genetic
element in schizophrenia suddenly dies away. Do you really
still believe the children's fate had no foreshadowing in that
little item?
