I suspected I would not make a grand impression with so brief a meeting, yet it seems that none of my people are due a mention in your little musing.
I must confess I am insulted, especially when I so carefully wrote my name for you. Was it simply too difficult to reproduce on your printing press? Or was there another reason? Pray tell me, to soothe my most wounded of prides.
